Art From London Markets, a-n feature

I was delighted to be accepted for Art Fair Malaga this week, and a after a little struggle with RyanAir I have booked my ticket and seperatley a nice cheap central place to stay.

At this point in time I cannot afford to take a stand and ship everything there, so I am going for their e-display option. This is very exciting, and a nice way to show there for the first time and test the waters. Maybe I’ll be there with a stand next year.

I am also increasingly delighted by the e publicity surrounding The Talented Art Fair coming up in March at the Truman Gallery. They are doing a great job. And I am looking forward to the next bit of professional development from the Ashurst Art Prize this coming week. This prize has proven really worth entering even if I don’t get selected, because the support they offer to you as an early entrant with feedback and free professional development which is invaluable and motivating.
I am currently developing a new piece which is in early stages, the first of which has already featured here, and the small images here are some selections of areas which are going well.

The work as a whole though needs further development, and I need to wait for a while watching paint dry, for things to firm up before I can take it further.

 

I am applying for residencies and teaching jobs in part so that I am better able to fund opportunities for self representation when they come along. And applying for these jobs reminds me of the things I love about working with other people and teaching too.
