Amanda has finished her drawing and is now using acrylic inks that are bright and colourful. 

On the display board above Amanda is going to add, '[You] told [us] Monday...' which is from the lyrics PSB King's Cross written in 1987. 

The picture reflects the effects of the previous Conservative government, American politics, populism, and the Thatcher era.

Amanda has now finished her clay sculpture which depicts a lack of social mobility, as been under a Conservative government for 14 years. Amanda says, 'I will be leaving it to dry out as it is air drying clay and doesn't require firing!' Amanda says she will do experiential mock ups first before comitting on this piece for the next stage.
