I have done it! After agonising over my role on the committee of Ryedale ArtWorks for six months or so, I have finally resigned. I need more time to myself in the studio, plus; fighting fracking up here is getting more serious. I can’t have more than one other thing in my life that demands my attention and it is time for some other artist members of RAW to step up and take responsibility for their organisation. I have worked for four years on their behalf so it is time for a break. I feel hugely relieved now that I have taken this step.
After spending the morning demonstrating in the cold at the entrance of Third Energy’s private road in Knapton, I simply could not face the freezing studio so have been doing some more research for my ballot box in the warm. I have a lot to do in quite a short time, so I’ll keep you posted!
