Dark times, indeed. Or more like grey-ish in my case. Despite being fit (at the moment, fingers crossed), having enough to eat and being otherwise secure I have found it impossible to do much meaningful work since the summer.
But, but, but – look on the bright side: I finished the essay and the portfolio and most of the artwork, submitted it and received a positive response. Reviewing the work itself after a long gap I am pleased to find that I achieved a certain quality as well as quantity in the output. The Master Plan would have involved submitting a proposal for an installation to the (National) Eisteddfod Genedlaethol, but since the Eisteddfod has been cancelled for another year I have a breathing space and can get on with the unfinished bits and pieces.
