Five days since the last blog…where does the time go?
One of the things I did as part of my ‘get myself organised’ package was to look myself up on Google. What a ghastly mess……..things from 2007 when I did South East Open Studios still at the top – they hold an archive. Maybe that’s why?
Awful images from local papers from the two years I took the Farningham Hobby Horse project all round Kent.
And then a rag bag of web sized images from a-n, many of them even not my work, just off my blog [and yes, I do always press the not my work button]. Nightmare.
Just hoping that when I finally get my new website up that Google will pick up those images first………..
Anyway- what else in the last five days?
Not much time so did a couple of local shows.
I went to see SHIFT exhibition in Maidstone. Very varied quality work but Claire Manning’s ‘eye’ imges on steel poles were lovely . She has just finished a Drawing MA at Wimbledon and they were her final show work.
The other exhibition I took myself too was that of Katie Hayward at Trinity Arts Centre in Tunbridge Wells. Brilliant. I loved it. Katie is investigating her desire to be taller. Huge elephantine ceramic legs leaning against vintage crutches and beautiful quirky drawings made the exhibition unforgettable.
Yesterday I finally took my huge drawing ‘Memorial to the Unconsidered’ to its new home. Lovely to hand over all that work to someone who understands and loves it.
Today I started to organise the move to my new studio. Plans chest drawers now on the dining room floor and the house is a mess. Next job to go through and throw out or leave behind….
then my wooden drawers and plastic boxes of oils and acrylics. Stay/go?Keep /throw?
hopefully I will see things that give me new ideas or remind me of old ones as I progress……….
