I have about 12 days until I start my residency. I've successfully relocated from Bristol to Stevenage and moved out of my studio in Bath. It feels kind of strange being inbetween studios, as I work on mostly a large scale, a studio is essential to allow me to make work, so I'm having to make do with note making, jotting down ideas in my sketch books and researching stuff on the internet.
Since I began my journey into the world of art back in 2002 when I started my foundation studies, I've only had a 5 month gap where I've been without a studio. This was immediately after finishing my BA and being stuck in the big world without any idea of what to do. I was really fortunate to get a studio so soon after graduating, as many of my friends were never so lucky, and it allowed me to continue and develop my work. Now I'm without a studio, albeit very temporarily, and I actually feel as if there is a massive void in my life. I really cannot wait until I have my nice new space to realise all my new ideas in.
Writing a blog is something I've been meaning to do for some time now. I've got no idea if anyone will read it, but I think for me it will be an extension of my notebooks and a space for me to gather my thoughts and document my ideas.
