Someone texted me this morning to let me know my exhibition details were in the paper. What a nice surprise as I knew nothing about it. Its only a few lines but hopefully will encourage people to come along on Friday.
I have been working on artist’s statements and cooking madelaine cakes (seems appropriate as the exhibition is concerned with memories and France to reference Proust!) Although “best eaten 1 hour after cooking” I will not have the luxury of time on Friday. I did a trial batch and discovered they freeze ok. I am attempting to keep ahead of the game so there is no rushing about and panicing on Friday-This is my first solo exhibition and I want to enjoy it!!!
Cheese has been bought-French of course and miraculously it has not been demolished by our son!!! red wine is sorted but will have to get white too and nearer the time French bread and grapes.
All the photographs are safely in their frames but will need to get mirror plates.
Next week will be installation time and I am quite excited. I am confident I have plenty of work-in fact there may not be room for everything.
Monday evening we are painting the floor-It’s getting to look patchy so just needs an all over coat to smarten it up.
All for now-will keep updating the blog during the week with news good or bad (All good though I hope) about how the installation is going.
