As my project EcologyNOW approaches its completion, I have been doing some reflecting.
Given the experimental nature of the artwork I will in future extend my time contingency for production. I have learned a number of new techniques and worked with totally new materials. I have proved to myself that I can achieve what I honestly wasn’t even sure I could and I am proud of the work I have made.
I am happy that the workshops went as well as they did and was relieved that I could adapt a previous kids workshop to cater for the extra demand. I will focus on doing kids and adult workshops since recruiting teenagers has proven difficult.
Artist tours will be something I take forward as well as artist talks, although I must ensure that I chase host venues much earlier.
My collaboration with the University of Birmingham and the Lapworth Museum of Geology has been extremely fruitful and I only wish it could continue!
