It's been a fast five years since completing my Masters in Jewelry and Metalsmithing at Indiana University in America.I'm not lying when I say that not a day goes by that I don't think about this dynamic University town. Returning is like coming home. I keep describing the experience as surreal. On the one hand things seem pretty much the same - the University, the town and the myriad of students walking the streets, running or playing catch. On the other hand the University has grown and new buildings have appeared, the town has expanded and some shops are gone and others have taken their place, and the students I now see I don't recognise - the peers I once shared this space with have long moved on. And yet, there are still many faces in the faculty I recognise and they remember me. I bump into former colleagues and students and make plans to catch up. It's great to hear what's happened in their lives over the past five years and a part of me wishes I had still been here to see it.
