Yesterday was meant to be my day of rest in the middle of a 5 day break from work. It didn’t quite work out that way though as I received an email from The Bridewell saying that they had accepted my work for ‘Possible Impossibilities’ – the next exhibition at the gallery. I almost didn’t enter, as it was classed as a ‘drawing exhibition’ and I haven’t actually sat down to draw for a while now (apart from sketches and working out ideas that is) my whole perception of Drawing though, changed when I saw the exhibition Tracing the Century: http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-liverpool/exhibition/tracing-century-drawing-catalyst-change I ‘draw’ with paper……… and although I wasn’t 100% sure that my work would fit the bill, I submitted it anyway. It was very last minute and I hadn’t quite finished it, so getting the email had me getting out the glue and putting it together ‘proper like’ so that it could be displayed. Then, as yesterday was my only ‘free’ day, I had to go across to deliver it. Today, I’m getting the Liverpool Art Month bus tour to see some exhibitions. http://www.artinliverpool.com/?p=41543 The organiser was really concerned yesterday that only 5 people had booked (inc me) but that’s a lot better than last week when NO ONE bothered. That is so unbelievable…. but then is it really? The last few exhibitions I’ve seen have been sadly lacking in visitors. Why doesn’t anyone bother anymore??
