I've been back in London now for 3 days now, been trying to catch up with all the emails, the ecourse, the general day to day demands that tug at you. Had a really good time at the conference in Norway (http://www.create.uwe.ac.uk/news.htm) , as well as taking in the lectures over the 4 days, I got to enjoy the peace that comes with being in your own space, learning more about what it is I want from my creative journey, and not having to cook for 4 days, but being pampered with the culinary delights from someone else's fair hands!
The conference was held in Gjovik, and there were researchers from all over the world, I was quite privileged to be among some of the brightest minds. As well as work, there was play, we got a tour of the worlds largest underground auditorium built for the XII Winter Olympic games in 1994
We also had a tour of Oslo, and visited the The Vigeland Sculpture Park covering an area of 80 acres. The 212 sculptures are all modeled in full size by Gustav Vigeland, it was definitely a sight to see!
the viking museum
.....and many other places, as well as some time on our own in Oslo. All in all I had a great time. It was great to get back to the family, my computer and my art materials! Now I need to hit the ground running into the next adventure! I've got my eye on the many art retreats that are taking place in the US and some in Europe. It would be great to get some feedback from any that you may have been to and enjoyed, so please comment.
