Lessons from Slade

Thinking of my experience at summer school in Slade, I thought I'd draw out so of the lessons I came away with.

1. The answers to the questions that other people ask you can tell you more than the answers to the questions that you ask other people

2. An object is always in relation to something else and your perception of that object shifts depending on how it is framed.....Even 'unfilled space' carries meaning, although what exactly is in that emptiness will be brought by the viewer not necessarily the framer

3. Follow your own narrative, by attempting to identify your hangups and overcome them, by allowing yourself to be taken away from your comfort zone and engaging the power if synchronicity, by communicating your need and trying to overcome it yourself, by attempting to learn what is being asked of you whilst focussing on what you are learning not what you think you should be learning, by freeing yourself from pre-conceptions and by grounding yourself in self-belief and by receiving the love that is all around you.
