Robin McDonald who wrote for the Manchester Mule website visited and reviewed the exhibition. Here she wrote:
"Kay Woodley’s video projection, My Morning Routine gives the viewer a highly-personal insight into the daily rituals of the artist. The work couples video sequences of early morning household scenes with sound recordings giving life to the video’s unmoving objects. Although the artist is never seen, visual and aural clues provide insight into her personality. The video ends with a shot of the inside of the artist’s front door. We do not see the artist leave but we hear the door open and then close before the sound of her footsteps retreating into the distance. Yet, once she has gone, the house remains silent. This prompts the spectator to consider the role of individuals in the creation of sacred rituals and spaces."

I am very pleased with what has been written as it is exactly what I wanted to portray in my piece. I felt I have come along way and have been successful in what I want to say and video seems to be the best way for me to portray it right now.
Kevin Bradshaw who worked at Blank Space was behind our ideas the whole time, and was always giving his support along with the rest of the Blank Space team. He wrote:
"In the far corner we can see Kay Woodley’s morning routine in her video and sound installation, My Morning Routine. She has captured to scenes and sounds that she religiously adheres to every morning. It’s a self-portrait which doesn’t show the subject. Here again we have the problem of a photo not truthfully representing the actual work. I vote for a youtube video. Seconded."
Along with some photographs of my video piece.
