Right – I am angry with myself. Firstly it is ages since I tentavely started this blog. Secondly I am diffident about doing it. Every artists exposes themselves simply by making art. I guess to my shame that I don't trust other artists to be generous to me and to what I say in this blog.
Is this a fear of being done by as I did? Am I not generous to other artists? I guess we all have to protect ourselves as we work but in fact I have mostly found other artists supportive and kind.
Currently I am struggling to get an exhibition/installation together with my friend Krystyna –
Our exhibition Hamera and Hartley's 'Finding Fathers' is due to open at New Hall on the 2nd March.
The venue presents a real challenge. It is a cold, long corridor with study doors down one side and a glass wall on the other. The walls are a white brick and 'pictures' can be attached to the wall on a railway track of slightly grubby batons. Nevertheless it is still a big deal to exhibit at New Hall especially for an old committed feminist like me.
Will we reach an interested audience though? Or hopefully attract a new one?
