Have all my scans lined up and operation scheduled for next week. Might as well be upfront about the “ill health” – it’s breast cancer and I’ll only know what it’s like as I’m going through it. However, I am intending to work as much as I can, because work is not separate from life but integral to it.
This blog isn’t intended as a chronicle of health issues though, but inevitably they will come up so I thought it best to get the “telling” bit done now.
Apart from some DAD work, arrangements for the dog to go into kennels, tidying up the house, I’m also finishing my work for the Interim Show (), which a fellow MA student is taking to London for me and which the college is going to hang.
Every arranged visit to the space has clashed with a medical appointment so I’ve only got my memory of it and recent photos sent by my “room group” to go on with regard to how to adapt my work to an exhibition rather than studio context. It’s a difficult space and there are lots of us showing so the work has to make an impact. Worse it is on the top floor so unless visitors start at the top they’ll be tired of looking at stuff by the time they get there. Moreover, there is also the problem of how to actually hang the piece. I’m thinking baton screwed to the wall, screws on the baton and bulldog clips (painted white) rather than staples. Let’s see how it works.
