Today is a good day, not prefect but good. There’s nothing – (for all you artists with families or part time jobs supporting your work) – like waking up on a studio day. Knowing you have an uninterrupted day with your work. And it’s sunny. I know I haven’t blogged in a while but that’s mostly due to my carpal tunnel business flaring up which was my own fault for painting 36 little bits of work in one go and spending an hour straightening my daughters hair (the one with hair like Scary Spice had before she got at the straighteners). Work is progressing more slowly than I’d like but it’s moving forward. My website has crashed and burned due to my husband fiddling with his (somehow they were linked) but that’s good because it’s about time I overlhauled it.
I have booked a flight to meet with the freelance curator in Geneva as she has some spaces in mind to show me and I am now in the process of asking ACE to switch my funding for a NY visit to cover this. Studio wise, at the moment I have a couple of pieces on the go, one of which involves remaking the gelatine butterflies (I’ll tell you the story of that another time). I need to get my ass into gear and organise the first crit group meeting but apart from that I’m fairly up to speed. In absense of a good photo to post I have attached this strange image of the wonderfully named ‘slapped cheek’ disease which one of my daughters woke up with this morning. I did say it wasn’t a perfect day!
