No idea where the time has gone to….I do seem to be arted out after the solo show….my inclination is to just do something else; so at the moment I am just doing that. Lots of reading and going to PV’s and events, meeting and greeting, and enjoying. No making.
I think we all go here at some point. The secret seems to be not to panic but to keep doing something. I have a group show in Hastings coming up in September called Telling Stories:Hastings. This seems now to have linked to another in Margate which is great. So – two shows in September.
The current plan is to exhibit the QCodes that each TS artist presently has up around Hastings and with them any relevant work/research that went into the work on show in Hastings.
I have also had a joint proposal accepted for the end of next year. We are to work with objects originally from a famous stately home that are now in a museum – and then exhibit the work in the Orangery at the end of next year.
Nothing hugely grand or good for the CV but solid and steady and interesting to me….
So – nice to feel something is there to ground me even if it is on the far horizon.
Maybe I will finally take time out to make a new website, organise my images, update my statement, write proposals and learn new skills like Vimeo and Mail Chimp that I am sadly lacking….
Today was just fun. Went to Whitstable to catch the last few days of Jeremy Dellar’s inflatable Stonehenge ……..just brilliant. Pure unadulterated fun.
The piece is titled ‘Sacriledge’. Being among the life sized stones took me back to the days when you could wander lonley as a cloud among the stones…I remember clearly sitting with a boyfriend into the dusk. no one else much about. Sacriledge indeed that now there is rope and barbed wire and a road and no access. Enough to make you convert; to become a Druid.
