The Royal Academy Schools Show, 2011 marks the end of an era for Keeper, Maurice Cockrill RA.
His dedication to the Schools and its students is truly inspirational - from giving character references to the police to aid the drunk and disorderly to fund raising and sharing a smile - Maurice will be missed. His successor, Eileen Cooper RA, the first female Keeper will however have no problem filling his shoes.
My favorite in this years exhibition is by far the work of dance floor friend Loz (Laurence Chalk), with his crassly but beautifully made objects of contemporary culture...
