………….and back to Margate again last night for the Private View.
I got to Margate early to visit ‘Scotts’ – a huge warehouse of antiques and curios. I was hoping to ferret out a butterfly box, a display cabinet or anything that could be used as museum style installation furniture for my solo show next year. Nothing.
Still, I like a good ferret about – what my husband calls my truffle mode- nose down, tail up………..
Meeting up with people at the Private View was fun. The fourteen printmakers all know each other now and it’s good to catch up. When I go to art things I always find I come away with at least one new contact that I am excited about.
Last night I met a temporary installation artist who is planning to be involved in a project that I have also been asked to be join. I do hope the project comes off – talking with him was fascinating and inspiring and I would look forward to working with him.
So – it’s time to turn my attention back to my moths………………..after three weeks holiday abroad and immersing myself in the maps I feel quite distant and unattached to the moth work; it feels just like something that needs to be finished.
I have started so I will finish………. like work.
Tomorrow I will set it all out again and hope that my interest will return. It will be a struggle to get the facility to draw so small and intricate back again. Drawing like that but still having immediacy and sponteneity in the line seems to come from hours of practice. And I am out of practice.
