Work on the solo show rumbles on…I picked up my big piece from the framers today. Problem. It’s a three frame tryptich within an oak frame. The outer frame isn’t substantial enough so that it is twisting….
Why is nothing ever easy? If it was a canvas I would cross brace it, but there is nothing substantial enough to drill and fix to. So – back I will go with it and see if I can organise a heavier oak frame. Such a pain.
Partly my fault because I am inexperienced in frames; most of my work being 3D, and partly the framer I guess for not giving better advice.
Postcards have arrived. I am not sure what part they play today..I e-mail all my Private View invites with few exceptions – postage is so expensive. The Foundation running the gallery ask that their exhibiting artists pay towards the postcards and then give them 150. I shall be giving them back I think to be offered from there….seems utterly daft.
I now feel the need to do two more works…..why?!
Three weeks to go that’s why! Just to make sure my brain is well and truly fried.
Onward and upward for the Hastings show…which isn’t until September… but the organisational stuff seems guaranteed to get in the way of my June show! They seemed a long way apart when I agreed to do it.
I spent the day sizing images, finding sizes, wrestling with 150 words to represent myself, my work and my ethos in the catalogue.
Just the hardest job I think – statements of any sort.
Now I just have to work out how to upload them all in the group Dropbox…no obvious upload mechanism, but one of the group has achieved it – so it must be possible.
I will re- examine in the morning light; when my psyche is less inclined towards techno melt down.
Beginning to feel like my bus shelter ….
