Well, that was a short space of R& R….!
What is it with us artists? There is a new plot afoot to put together a proposal between four artists who work to [as one artist succinctly put it] create beautiful, delicate, considered work based on and around the death of birds, insects, flowers and humanity.
This morning we struggled with the words to take this idea and progress it to a point where we could articulate the concept of how we all use this to remake that death into future potential within our work.
So now that is all I can think of. Took what? Two days? Amazing. We just can’t not do it can we…….its in the artist DNA; and now I am happy. New work to come and a new slant to it and new possibilities…..
This afternoon I took a good friend round the show. One on one…an individual tour..I’ve never done that before. She is not an artist and we had an enjoyable time and she went away knowing where I was coming from. Now I wish I had used the opportunity to ask her many more open questions about how she – as a non artist-read my work.
Perhaps we should offer artist tours for that reason…listen and learn.
Next time…
