It was on my first visit to dundee that I was handed the first two books which have provided a fairly detailed history of the nine incorporated trades. I think that when these images were taken I thought they might brighten the blog up, maybe I was wrong. It did however highlight my concern with how I position myself within the work, a thing which is a returning theme in developing work.

Having fulfilled the criteria for the Nine Trades project as a fabricator I am familiar with these sites and interested in how this will show its self in the project.
