I would like a mentor please.
To be fair, I think I get bits of mentoring here and there off various people in all different roles – advice and encouragement that is really valuable and much appreciated. But wouldn’t it be great to have someone to build a longer term relationship with? Perhaps work with.. or someone who could remind you of your goals and give you a nudge when you’re heading off track or making wonky choices. Someone whose work you love and admire.
I saw this today, twittered by Hayley Harding of Axis fame:

and thought it looks like an amazing year. This year’s visual arts mentor is Anish Kapoor. A less famour version please!
YSP did offer to help me get in touch with groups in the area while working towards the exhibition.. perhaps this is a good chance to make some valuable links. Architects were mentioned.
Must not waste this opportunity…Must not waste..etc.
