Arts Institute at Bournemouth

This year is proving to be just as hectic as everyone said it would be, on completion of my dissertation along with the work running up to my December exhibition i was looking forward to a bit of studio time and some playful experimentation. With Organising MA applications and yesterdays big talk on how this is the time to really go all out, i can see my moment of relaxation disappearing. Despite this, there's a real exciting atmosphere in the studios, it feels like everyone is really ready to come together and exhibit and i think there will be some especially high standards of work. After finishing our two person exhibition and having complete creative control I must admit i was a little worried about exhibiting in such a jungle as an end of year show, its the other end of the spectrum to the type of exhibition i usually enjoy. Right now i have a very different perspective, this is probably the only time in my life where i will be in such an incredible position. I have 16 weeks to devise and make work for an amazing space with people who I've had a huge amount of interaction with. I have a studio to make work in and a wealth of people to discuss the making with. This is a really privilaged position for any artist and something i am going to take full advantage of.
