I've been doing lots of DAD stuff so haven't had much time for the studio. Apart from chasing the accountant to send or supposedly resend the letter signing off our project accounts so I can get a report off to the Arts Council, I've been writing a bid for a new film project, together with codirector Joanna, of course. We've had to put together an education programme which at first seemed like box-ticking but the way we are developing it actually should be quite exciting. Another DAD project is getting into gear and we will be working with Sharon Haward as well as French photographer Pierre-Yves Brest and we are also waiting to hear whether our Open Weekend project will get the go-ahead.
As there was no class this week I did manage a stint in the studio yesterday and although the studio situation is not ideal, at least it is somewhere to work away from the house. That said, I work at home too.
I am also trying to finalise my study proposal and am finding it hard to contextualise my work. I suppose it is a question of finding a 'lineage' – to whom, why, how, does my work relate?
