Well I didn’t quite get every thing started the will was there but the time not. I have however started the split canvas on the travelling snails which may take me a while, and I have 3 lino cuts drawn and ready to go…Very much looking forward to starting cutting tonight, oh a glass of wine, gardeners world and a good whittle.
I have definitely spent too much time thinking this week….I was pondering the comment I made last week about art fitting into my life, and in the context of the Open Studio about how much I actually do in my studio space. As I have said I cut my lino plates in the front room on the sofa. I do most of my prep and planning on my computer, at work, or in the dinning room. I photograph any where mostly my garden, and my sketch book usually resides in my knicker draw next to my bed. I do the messy stuff in my studio space, and carry the whole bucket full of snails around in my head.
This said when I come to present my work, and working practice for the Open Studio Trail. My studio space being in the loft, maybe to set a (snail) trail through the house to represent this, omitting the knicker draw of course!
We have a meeting in September I think I need to talk to the other artists especially those that have done this event before about how they present them selves.
