Picking myself up by my bootstraps
I am proceeding with the ‘grand plan’ (see post from 24 Feb) albeit as if running through treacle.
As far as my aims for the year are concerned I am slowly working through some new images for Axis and am planning a new website.
But my main efforts have gone into drawing up a project proposal that has been obsessing me for a while. This is ending up merging into an application for r and d funding too. I have had an initial short discussion with someone from ACE and am just about to arrange to have a chat with people from an arts trust, which will force me to complete the first draft of the application pretty damn quick(ly).
I am also booking myself in for various events in order to meet people and network in the real world too rather than just virtually. This is not always easy when you have a family. I know it is impossible but I wish PVs were in the daytime.
And yes I am getting to see more exhibitions.
So a qualified success. The hardest thing as ever is to balance the work that feeds the body with the work that feeds the soul. Otherwise known as trying to pick yourself up by your bootstraps. You need to do work to pay for the time to be able to work but then you have no time.
