Just noticed that a shortlist of 59 proposals for Take the Lead (Cultural Olympiad) has been decided on: http://tinyurl.com/mbzwcu. Some interesting ideas..

Rain here, the likes of which I haven’t seen since I lived in Japan. It’s nice and warm too so was good to go out, get soaked and then have a swim in the river, in the rain today.
Work still going well.. I am making a costume/wearable sculpture for a performative piece Jens is going to help me document in the attic. Feel very lucky to have the help of such a talented photographer and hope I can repay him in other art favours. Imagine if art-bartering worked so well all the time! I never appear in my work so this is a bit of a strange leap for me, but I feel a bit like no one is watching, so it’s a good time to try something I would normally be too shy/self-conscious to do. Drawings, nets, start, attic and my portrait by Jens all here… He is photographing all the artists in their studios as part of an ongoing project, but I will also use it for the article I WILL write for the neuner (09) managzine… any day…. I don’t look like me.. far too serious (or glazed?!).
Travel money for the first leg of the journey came through, alas, by pure human error the £130 flight was missed off, so all I got was £42 trains… oh dear.. trip to Salzburg is off then! I was pretty fed up when I realised, but I’m so defeated by it, I just feel like what difference will one week make? More studio work at least…
