As I am a long time fan of the various musicians Andy Vella worked with, thus found his talk really interesting, I really liked his emphasis on process and experimentation in his work, and also the importance of visual play, it really made me think about ‘making my work my own’, and not always creating work I know I can create. I also got a lot out of the talk that Miriam Ellis did, as I like to use a satirical or humorous element in my own work sometimes, I also liked how she explained her idea of having the freedom of speech to satire whatever we want.
