The weekend has been spent doing final prepwork for submission to Mid-Wales Open (check out their website www.cambriaarts.org.uk ) which kicks off on Saturday – all work safely delivered to venue yesterday pm. I also needed to get some decent images of work for the Oriel Davies Open, and complete the paperwork for that submission – in the post yesterday – and some people think that all I do all day is sit and paint!
Now back to the job in hand – my own final show.
Canvases have been stretched and gessoed ready for me to complete the series of four that I have to produce as part of my final assessment. The installation is, however, a different matter altogether. So far I seem to have amassed lights, timers, quantities of wood, a display case, oh – and plenty of good intentions. My sketch books are full of drawings, scale plans and thoughts and I’ve even built a quarter-scale maquette to try and identify possible problem areas, however there’s nothing like building full-size to bring out the gremlins.
Time to get down to it I guess. (Well at least for the time being, although those Cambrian hills certainly do look inviting!)
