We started the very rainy day with visiting the studios of
Laura Deakin and Mari Ishikawa. It was great to see how they had set up their
studios, with the equipment they require for their practice. Mari explained the
process of how her organic brooches are cast, and I also really liked the red stitching
in her works. Laura then took us by train to her exhibition space and showed us
some very different work to that seen in her studio. I found her stories
helpful of how she studied in Australia and moved to Germany to attend the Academy,
and it also made me think how dedicated you must be to make such a big move,
she was very honest with her struggles.
