thankyou for the 'hope he gets better wishes". he is back at school and doing his art gcse this week, after much assistance with cutting/sticking stuff into his sketch book and being a scribe for his annotation. it took so long, both up til midnight the last couple of nights, and i am so glad that i dont have any 'project' type work to do on the ba course. luckily he's good at photoshop.
i have been asked to talk at the a-n AIR open dialogue thing on may 18th, "Rivington Place (home of Iniva) on 18 May, 6.30-8.30pm. The other speaker is Laura de beneditti – see her blog on Artists Talking.These are informal events at which two artists each speak (from within a circle of chairs) for ten minutes – the theme is ‘points of reflection and departure’ which has a resonance for most artists, whatever career stage. For you as an about-to-graduate- student it would be interesting to follow the areas you have covered on your blog ", not to panic yet about what i am saying but it's slowly forming in an empty corner of my head, just behind the bit where i keep the jam.
this week has been running to hospitals in deep, green kent to new cross, adding a couple of dizzy circles in between. this has been the only chance i have had to stop and think for a couple of weeks, so i am going to continue the thinking in a big, hot, bubbly bath, until the water gets cold.
