Inspiration sought from Brains Exhibition at MOSI

The opportunity to attend a display at Manchester's Museum of Science and Industry was intended to  provide our team with some inspiration, particularly around our theme chosen for the Dialogue project and Dreams.  The stimuli for this inspiration was a new exibition by MOSI on the brain. It was an exhibition created by both scientists and artists working together, and the resulting combination provided a worthwhile trip.  I was a little dissapointed that only two others from our team of five decided to show up at the agreed time outside university, for me to drive over and collect them, take them to Manchester and then return them back again. Nevertheless, the two students who accompanied me were clearly grateful and I hope inspired in some way by what they saw.

I am still working on what to prepare and present within the Dreams / Dialogue project as I have struggled to successfully remember the dreams I've experienced over the last few nights.  My task was to research the scientific theories around why we dream, and I have started to gather sufficient material for that to be evaluated by the team to chose what we include in our intended publication.

Meanwhile, my artistic output has been a little slow overt recent days as I have perhaps been thinking rather than doing a little too much. I must keep in mind the latin phrase that I found earlier, which tranlates to 'never a day without a line'
