I choose my route through the college to minimise the steps that are required and the number of stairs climbed. I lead the others along the outside of the building from the studio to the other building. There is a level of discomfort at my brazen opening of the fire door and ignoring of the signs. When did young people become so compliant with rules? I used to be the person suggesting caution and being anxious about the negative consequences of rule breaking. My own children are so well behaved. It must be a reflection of the society in which we live. It is not a consequence of my parenting \u2013 unless they are rebelling.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I show the group my badger drawing and talk about black on black drawing. There is a correlation with Pascal\u2019s work. He had been drawing his face in the dark relying on his touch. I was trying to capture the wonder and awe of meeting a badger at night. Its power and mystery. I feel that the drawing needs to be big. The beast feels big and powerful although it is actually not much bigger than my dog.
