31.11.12 FIRE

On the night of Halloween we had a housefire, one of the most terrifying experiences of my life! Once everything had been sorted and the firemen had left and we began thinking about cleaning up and getting the house back to looking like somewhere we could live. I took a few minutes to document the markings the fire had left.
This is a moment in my life that I definitely want to forget quickly but being a textile student I also appreciate the beauty in it. It is also pretty fitting with my project. I don't think I am going to start developing work from it but reflect that even when it all seems like it couldn't get any worse at least we have some nice patterns on the walls that give me inspiration to keep an eye out for research whatever is going on or where ever I am. And it wasn't really to bad having a cup of tea with 6 firefights at 5am.
