Today, I am visited by Deborah Robinson from New Art Gallery Walsall, in order to discuss how I think the residence has gone. I also saw this as a chance to show her my previous work and also discuss my ideas for the project. I was keen to tell her and Jane Morrow, (who was also present) that I wanted to develop a new piece of work around all the research that I have been given.
I present them with a draft copy of my story.
I stated that this residency is now the start of the journey, although the end of the residency is tomorrow.
I felt that it was important to gain support from the gallery and in order to help move the project forward and when I start to put together a timetable after I leave.
Deborah seemed really impressed with my work and liked my ideas for my new piece of work. This was very encouraging and I am started to get excited about the piece of work.
After Deborah and Jane leave I start to finish my story and think about the drawings that could be presented alongside.
I decided to produce three drawings based on the story. On my way home I later start to think about what the drawing could be and run up some mock drawings from the computer.
