In the meantime I am continuing to draw, while working on my current commission for the Tropenmuseum in Amsterdam, Holland.
I also broke my foot which has slowed down the results of the mentoring process but it’s getting better and I will get back to doing big expressive drawings. This space has enabled me to consider my position as an artist and producer, I have read Martin Herbert’s book Tell Them I Said No, which has provided food for though and I am going forward with a different way of working. I have got lots of new ideas for sculptures that I want to make, both large and small and I am going to let the process of play and experimentation take over.
Having professional development mentoring over a period of time from these three women has been very supportive and helped built my confidence, knowledge and resilience. I feel clearer and have a more solid path ahead. I am very grateful for all of this and for the support that receiving this grant has afforded me.
