I lie awake at night and listen to the birds singing

I've got a solo exhibition coming up in August at Wrexham Arts Centre. I have been working on stuff for the show for the past three years. I'm really interested in exploring themes that have been relevant to me for the past decade. At the same time I'm working on projects at the print centre including our programme of workshops, we have two next week, and an exhibition in Liverpool and two Chinese artists coming over to stay for six weeks as part of a larger cross Wales project, and I want to apply for some funding towards a small project alongside the Wrexham show, and then there's another show in Caernarfon at the end of the year and to say nothing of the print centre touring shows and the postcard and place projects… all this and still it feels as though nobody is interested in an artist from the sticks!
