Great quotes

"When the outcome drives the process we will only ever go to where we have been. 

If the process drives outcomes we may not know where we are going, but we will know we want to be there.

Better understand your strengths and weaknesses."

Identify and question your underlining values and belief

Tutorial: Nigel Grimmer

Today I had a tutorial with one of my tutors and colleagues Nigel Grimmer.  The time felt short, but his feedback and advice was valuable.  His response to all he things I wanted to achieve was primarily to reduce/refine/streamline my intentions.  He suggested that the bulk of the stuff to sort out is in between the tension between the exhibition in Iraq and the return group show in the UK.
