http://www.exploratorium.edu/who/artists/ One day this, for definite!
But in the mean time, I'd like to continue studying and progressing in creative practice, I don't see education as a means to getting a job, but as gaining information which could enrich your life and really believe this course at Queens University Belfast could do that, I have a lot of family in Belfast also, The course is called Sonic Arts and I would concentrate on the performance elements, I have a lot of ideas roaming around in my head about making electronic music with acoustic sounds, and really think this course could help some dreams come in to fruition.

I am also applying for a course at Oxford Brookes, there is a lovely cafe job there in Oxford and I had a dream, about living there and the course sounds ace its at a top university also, so win win.

I will also be applying to do Fine Art Media at Slade School of Art at UCL, which would be brill, very competitve as are all of these, but seeing as the fees go up next year its even more so, and even more important to get on to do an MA, as I won't be able to afford it all then, London is a pricey place so would work an awful lot, My Kate bush impression might get me some money, voice overs etc.

The Big Hitter, when I was in foundation my tutor said, apply to London after Manchester ideally RCA it will set you up for life! and I will how ever seeing as its one of the best if not the best art school in the country my portfolio needs be impecable, even development work needs to be perfect, The course is also Fine Art Media. The deadline for that one has passed but there are special circumstances.
