TRIALS AND TECHINICAL TRIBULATIONS!
What a strange and frustrating week it’s been. Annoyingly random hours for Census Collecting (but nearly all finished now!); an imminent weekend house swap in order to dog/granny/house-sit; a couple of days on-and-off spent wondering what was wrong with my suddenly dead internet connection, messing about trying to diagnose the problem, and eventually managing to restore it; and, most annoyingly three attempts to make a voice recording of the text for my forthcoming installation at Display Only next week using my new little sound recorder with what I now know to be a faulty memory card. Ho hum. I suppose if those are my worst problems it’s not all that bad! It’s just been a bit trying.
Anyway, I have made some progress. The new supplies I need for the installation are on order & should be here tomorrow. I think I’ve got the sound recording almost sorted – we’ll see. Then when I get back from the house-swap, hopefully I’ve got a reasonably uninterrupted week to install next week. The van is arranged for Monday to transport timber, materials and equipment. It’ll be good to get started.
Picked up my work from the East Sussex Open today – at least the video piece, Just Looking For A Place (Refuge) – the wall drawing will soon be painted out by the technical staff at Towner! And I actually remembered to set it up in my studio to photograph it properly before it’s all packed away. Hope I get the chance to show it again – it’s such a nice box!
