I finally decided this year to join ZAP, just in time to take part in their summer show. I was quite nervous about showing the recent small paintings but the atmosphere was really friendly with a personal welcome from Annabel (who it turns out I met a few years ago) and Rosalind. I really wanted to stay the whole evening but very sore feet meant I had to head off early. For me the summer show was a especially useful as a way of getting work out of the studio and putting it in the context of work by other artists – seeing how and where it fits!
