It was definitely something different, the joint creative process of introducing abstract musical notation in her very subtle abstract paintings was something I've never heard of before. I really liked how everything she did had some sort of link to her growing up on the Isle of Harris, a lot of seascapes that weren't actually seascapes but had that feel to them, as they were too abstract to be definitive. Mary Morrison kept mentioning geometry, grids, patterns, lines, compasses, rulers, maps. All very technical stuff, mixed in with very expressive loose abstractions, actually turned out to be a nice construction. The poetical touch mixed with the Gaelic phrases in her titles made the work all together 100% original. A lot of influences in her life, seems like she doesn't like to do a range of different things, it seems like it's all very similar in terms of style and medium. 

She works in a studio shared with other artists which seems interesting but I totally understand how it can make her a lot more motivated. Usually artists go on about how they love their own space, how it's great to have it all to yourself because you can make is as messy as you want. I feel I can never be anywhere near as motivated at home as I do in class, so I feel her.

When she talked about her work she would call most of them fairly small pieces, which obviously doesn't give the same effect on screen, I'm keen to visit the WASPS studios to see her work as it happens I'm off work that weekend and I can actually do something with my life for once. It is interesting to hear what other people say about your work because sometimes they will say things that you haven't thought of yourself, that's something that Mary said that I took note of, that probably is true in the environment that she works in, within experienced artists in an adult situation, I feel that doesn't happen in the lights of the college so much as people are afraid to make any negative comment about others work. Which I don't think is correct in an art studio, people should be more painfully honest rather than sweet and fake. 

Personally I liked her work, I felt it was my cup of tea in a wayyyyy but also not so much, the extremely subtle, delicate feel in the colour scheme sort of scared me, in a way it was very meditation and in another it was creepy. Overall I enjoyed what Mary Morrison had to say, everybody is different and it's nice to hear different people talk about different things that interest and inspire them, and maybe not directly but in a way it inspires us also.
