I got back yesterday after 24hours of travel, got a quick shower then headed to my studio. It was a mess. The works hanging from the ceiling were now on the floor in piles. I started work on reassembling them.
I’ve been reading Lucy Lippards book on Eva Hesse. When she struggled with work she made drawings so I tried to see if that would work for me. I’m struggling with the hundreds of ideas for work that are in my head that I don’t have the time or resources to make.
I had a chat with Melody about doing a week of performance in February – the space is there so now there’s nothing to stop me. Steve Randall who’s studio is opposite mine thinks I’m flogging a dead horse trying to make anything happening in Poole.
Still I can’t not do anything. maybe nobody will see it but i’ll have done it and maybe if I document it well then this exist outside the non- audience that is Poole.
Anyway this one of the drawings I did. Steve reckons I should believe in myself more. He says my work is very interesting and should be in London. Hello london – I’m here working hard!
