Great first meeting. So much talking from everyone which makes the crits productive and enjoyable.
On and off throughout the day I think about the next stage of our collaboration – making a new piece of work with an allocated partner from other people’s work we have been given. As yet I have only the beginnings of ideas, but I think this is fine. It’s important to go with the flow and I’m looking forward to hear the views of my partner.
As for my own work, I’m rusty talking about my own stuff to an art literate group, but I was pleased with the response to the piece – a mixture of laughter and wincing! At the end of the meeting I simply rolled up my piece and handed it over to the people now working with it. I just about resisted the urge to pat it goodbye – it’s not mine anymore!
