We received our new brief this week-'Alive and Well', world aids day (1/12/13).My initial response has not been good. I couldn't get past the misery and death caused by aids. I'm glad to say that I have now moved on to the positive aspects such as huge improvements in the treatment and control of the condition, optimism for the future and 'happy' thoughts regarding patients and ways to lift their spirits. I'm looking at the qualities of stained glass, light and reflections as well as bright colours. I have decided that what ever I do will be bright and comforting to the viewer.
I enjoyed our first lecture from David. Although it was repeated from last year, I feel I absorbed the information better this time. I wish I could say the same.about a book recommended by David (On Longing by Susan Stewart). I've been reading it during the holidays, but I struggle with it sometimes, nevertheless I will continue until the end-- hopefully it will all become clearer by then. Some examples of aids posters. Food for thought!
