I feel sorry for Timothy. He is trying so hard to say what he thinks are the right things and what he thinks will impress this nebulous notion of "the right people". I was much the same way at his age, albeit with regard to a much different group. And also, too, he is thinking like an artist. Art and design are very different things. He can't possibly win. My more cynical friends believe he will stay around awhile because the drama with Miranda makes good television. And regardless, I still think he's cute. :D
As an artist, I was taught to listen to the materials, and only two really did. Bradon was the only one who really listened to the fabric from the beginning. I was shocked that more designers didn't think to do something really big and flowing like he did. And Sue, though she didn't listen to the material at first, ended up doing so and came out with something really striking.
I'm sucked in, officially, now.
