Monday 16th
Got up knowing i would have to write till lunchtime, after yesterday this looked even more gloomy. Did it though and actually achieved a fair bit. Was working on a bursary application, 'what would i like to develop with the money?' Judging by the state of the weather here i fancy creating lines in a hot 'Dessert', Nazca Style. Doubt if i will get away with it so act a bit more conventionally. All i desire to do is develop, create and show. Applications at present feel the biggest barrier ti fulfilling this.
Head off to Aspex Gallery in early afternoon, they are hosting a 'Social enterprise' event. Meet up with UnLtd, based in London. They gave me an award last year to look in to setting up a network based in Portsmouth for Dyslexic artists of any description. (anyone interested in hearing more? [email protected]) They are quite unique as they are one of the only organizations who give grants to individuals. They very pleased with the progress so will drop in to their London office over next few weeks to tie things up. Meet with both familiar and non people and leave to head home. Had a look at main gallery exhibition too, very 'blue'. No rain?
