The West End thrum crawls out of the gutter‚ the morning traffic bleak after opening night. Down wheelie bin guarded back alleys‚ pages of a tabloid struggle out of a puddle. Red. Mud. Boot. Disorientated gulls blare out their siren from rooftops. “I’m leaving now honey‚” “ok then see you later.” . Danielle Philips was off to the dentist. As always‚ there was heavy

Creative Story- Stuart Hamilton I felt the air brush through my hair as I made the brisk escape from the hellish gates of the John-Smiths High school. I spun round in a quick one hundred and eighty degree turn to try and check if anyone had seen me make my escape or if anyone had been approaching to try and stop my quick climb over the small tattered aluminium fence held loosely by a few loose nails and screws.

Garbage! Absolute Garbage! That would have been my response and opinion of John Baldessari’s work if the field trip to the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla was held in the first week or second week of this Art History course. Admittedly‚ I had to make a concerted effort not to raise that “shield of indifference” that I normally bring up when exposed to modern or contemporary art. Prior to the museum visit I did not do much research on Baldesarri other than lightly glancing through

Katherine Mansfield Project "The Canary" by Katherine Mansfield (1888 to 1923-New Zealand) is the last story that Mansfield completed.
