The week has been really busy. The exhibition came down on Wednesday and as always only took half a day to do. What a complete contrast to the 3 day stint getting it up and again that peculiar taking down feeling in my belly. So the work is all now back home, sitting still in it’s packaging in my studio. Nicola Kearey has reviewed the show on Interface, www.a-n.co.uk/p/557177/ – read her response to the show. Thanks Nicola and sorry to hear you had a problem with the opening times.
I have since been sorting out for the next thing. I had an email about 3 months ago now from an artist asking if I would like to be involved in a group exhibition in Bath called Domesticated. It has been emails and a phone call and now I am travelling across to Bath next week to see the space, a place called Walcot Chapel. From the photos it looks like a wonderful venue and I’m really excited about paying it a visit. The artist who is organising it, Callum will be meeting me there on Thursday, so I’m hoping this all goes well. He is hoping to have it as a 2 part show, 2 weeks in Bath and again at the beginning of next year in Swindon.
I am planning to use one of my pieces from the solo, but re-work it especially for the space. It will be free standing. This has been an interesting development, departing from the white wall. I thought it a bit of a challenge with my work at the moment but the more I work on the idea the more enthused I am becoming about the change. It is really forcing me to reconsider a new way of presenting my work and getting me to approach it from a new angle.
I’ve also started updating me website with the images from Drawn on, Drawn in. If you fancy a look please do visit me at www.christinabryant.co.uk
With all this I haven’t even got to do any work on the Open Studios collaboration. Each time I’ve stepped into the studios I’ve seen some new interesting developments but am yet to contribute and respond myself. I really need to make some time for this soon.
