I have just emerged from several days stuck behind the computer doing a huge translation job. It always puts me in a bad mood – as soon as I start I immediately wish I hadn’t, even though I know that some of what I earn can help towards the mortgage. Still, I did manage to sneak some time off to take the dog to the park and also earlier had a lovely evening at Crate space in Margate meeting their two French artists in residence.
It has been an interesting time this summer – working with my mother on the DAD celebration arch which went above the underpass for the Olympic Torch Relay event. Lots of the pom poms got nicked, so we took it down and by invitation transferred it to a corridor in the local library. Not only did it then change in nature from being an outdoor installation to an indoor one, it also became a wall hanging and suddenly needed a whole load more work, which thank goodness my mother took on. One can never just transfer something. Working with my mother brought back some of my best memories of when we used to do batik together.
Lots of art events coming up: Whitstable Biennale opening and Cultural Baton event plust of course the whole Biennale and Satellite programme over the next two weeks. I will be doing a one-day intervention in the Cultural Baton as part of the Satellite on 16 September see http://www.whitstablesatellite.com/ and also my website for details. http://www.studio308ltd.co.uk/News/Entries/2012/8/…
I have been doing quite a bit of work on my website recently and was interested to see how much traffic I get from this blog! Thanks everyone for reading.
