I’ve just sent off the final papers for the NAN bursary report and it was only then I realised that I’d missed things out. Damn! You think you’ve covered everything and then as soon as you press the send button – BAM – another memory about the visit pops back in.
We’ve only been back two weeks, but it feels much longer. I was looking at a Small Projects posting on face book about the new artist they are now exhibiting, and I felt a pang of jealousy. It feels like the dust hasn’t quite settled since we were there.
So what have I done since getting back? I’ve been to work…. more meetings have now gone on at Tate about the cuts. Yes, they will be made. They are reviewing each department, one at a time – starting with front of house – the most short staffed and the lowest paid. Decisions to be made in April.
Work wise ( the other type) for me… I made the most of the good weather last weekend and started casting some resin pieces. Even working outside, it made me feel wheezy. I wanted to do more, but I suppose I will just work with the weather again.
I’d also seen a rusty old Motor bike on the fields where I walk my dog, so decided to drag that up ( with a lot of help!) No idea what to do with it yet, but I felt really excited about working with something different – something that also fits in with my present work about travel.
Well… I was excited – until I received an email this morning from METAL. They are advertising the next Liverpool art prize – and there, staring me in the face was an image of a rusty old bike exhibited in a gallery space. Grrr…
