Alyson has gone, Pat. She’s not been in since you all went to Somerset. If you think she has, then you’ve been tricked, like the rest of us. Someone – I suspect Jonathan – is using her account on Doodle.

Patrick Bright

Saw her myself when I went round to Jonathan’s. She was there. Large as life and quite well.

Jem Badhuri

When?

Patrick Bright

Couple of weeks ago.

Jem Badhuri

You didn’t, Pat. You didn’t see her. I’m not saying you’re lying, I’m saying you were fooled. Because she wasn’t there. You didn’t see her or speak to her, face-to-face, did you?

Patrick Bright

No.

Jem Badhuri

Why did you go round?

Patrick Bright

To deliver materials, so they could make components over the weekend. He said Alyson was there.

Jem Badhuri

Has she left her husband?

Patrick Bright

I understand it’s complicated. But I’m absolutely certain she was there.

Jem Badhuri’s Doodle Diary, 16 May 2024:

Ever since I found out Jonathan is married, I’ve been googling Suzie Danners using every variation of spelling I can think of. Been searching for Jonathan too. The lady called Barbara at his father’s gallery said he did ‘something ecological’. I have to bear in mind that she may not have been told the truth herself.

All this time there’s been one thing that didn’t occur to me. I need Dad to take me somewhere.

MMAM(FTP) Coursework Module: Assignment Six Tutor’s Report, 17 May 2024

Brief: Design a new CV, webpage or social-media profile that sells you as an employee or a freelance creative. It will represent you and your work going forward.

Overview: For their final coursework assignment I want the group to think beyond the walls of Royal Hastings. Any graduate of this MA will take their skills learned into the corporate world, fully prepared for a new career as a creative professional. This assignment is designed to refer them back to the start of the course and reflect on how far they have come. I am delighted to say that each and every student – despite being busy with their final project and essay – completed the assignment in good time and with impressive flair and commitment.

Jem intends to start a business making soundscapes for public spaces. For this assignment she created a webpage laying out her skills, accompanied very cleverly by a soundscape to illustrate her progress on this course. It’s a bright, airy, experimental work that gently slides into a darker, more mysterious and intriguing experience. I found myself shivering as it played, as if an insect were crawling down my neck. Jem’s key qualities are her ambition and determination, which together ensure she overcomes any obstacle in her way. She maintains a forward-thinking and optimistic outlook – reflected in the ‘About me’ page she created for this project, on which she states: ‘I gained a Distinction in my MA in Multimedia Art at Royal Hastings.’ Grade: A

Patrick Bright

Patrick has discovered resin art and especially the joys and challenges of preserving organic matter. He drew a picture of the webpage he hopes to create for a new business preserving flowers as paperweights. At this stage I would have liked to see the actual page, but Patrick has not yet mastered FlowHand 11. His CV was similarly sparse and doesn’t even include his name! I’m afraid Patrick is drained by his work on the final project, so his grade is based on his previous work. Grade: C.
