Days pass quickly with so many choices of things to accomplish and things to explore. Some times there is so much to do in the studio that I don't get out at all, yet other times I'm out so much at museums and looking around, that I can't get done what I'd planned. The advantage of a computer is that you give it a task and it does it full-stop, (or crashes), but humans, and I like to think, especially artists, go off on tangents because so many possibilities lie at each stage. That way madness lies, one might say, but using some sort of discipline, interesting possibilities creep in. Working steadily on a drawing, I found myself dancing around the studio. It must be the weather, so bright and mild now that is making me less hermit-like and ready to make some contacts. Having emailed an artist who lives in Berlin, friend of a friend in London, and arranged to meet for a coffee tomorrow afternoon, I'm looking forward to an insider's viewpoint.
