After an incredibly stressful weekend spent at work in the cafe I got back in the studio and managed an incredibly productive thirteen hour stint in University. The students that were selected for Gallery North were given access at 9am and we had a short meeting outlining how the space was to be used. I wheeled over the smaller canvas piece over to the gallery soon after.
We had a meeting later to allow the students to give a little bit of information regarding their practices, before that I sorted out my rather large woodshop bill and started the process of strengthening the structure so I would be able to walk on top and sow the grass seed.
I’ve been so busy with the set up that I’ve been letting this blog slide, now I am in a pretty good place regarding the show and can concentrate on the written side of the course.
My construction has now had all the compost and topsoil laid and I have just begun the process of sowing. The actual structure is giant and I feel incredibly proud of the work that my first years and I have done!
Now I have to manage the space, keep the soil watered and paint the walkways. The weight that has gone from my shoulders is fantastic, now I just have to hope that nature takes its course and my mound of earth turns into a lush green hill!.
