Had a busy weekend, but it was good as it took my mind off the degree show,
Put up my artwork in the art festival (inside-out) in the village llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog. N.Wales on Friday, had a walk around to see want everyone else was doing, it good great… left me a bit nervous that my work would not be up to standed, Roger my husband and my son Deiniol came to help me, it was a very warm sunny day,they said it look good, so I hope they were right.
I had spent along time making the materials for this installation, so it was good to go and set it up, my son enjoyed splashing in the water…
The way the sun was catching the strips across the stream, was better than I could have hope of… the reflection of the sky and the water made it too,
I had good feedback on the Saturday from the visitors, the weather help as it was brill day again, It makes it all worth while….
Took down my artwork in the Durber Gallery on Wednesday, so back in my studio space not for long as we start moving into our Degree Spaces by the end of next week..
Had a Tutorial with my tutor on Tuesday, after he went I realised he had not answered any of my questions… I e-mailed other tutor yesterday to see if I could have a chat with her, just to go over my ideas now I have my space..,
Does anyone else feel the tutors have just left building, just when you need them the most…
I am one of 31 artists involved in a art festival in a village right in the Welsh Mountains. Looking forward to go there tomorrow to do my art outside, instead of in the gallery space.. Hope to post photo soon…
We were told your Degree Show spaces on Friday afternoon, at first I am disappionted with my space, as they have put me in the sculpture studio which is a separte building in the car park. But when I went down into the space and started to like the idea of being down there with just 3 other student, which I know we will work well together. We will be away from all the chase of the Fine Art Department.
I have been think about want to do in the space the last few days, I will have to advise my proposal and adapte my plans to the space I have been given.
My only worry no one will come to the sculpture studio on the private veiw, I think we should have the wine then everyone will visit us….
Days ticking away and I am off college with sick bug…
We are also still waiting for which space will be ours for the Degree Show which is starting to bug me,as my work is site spectfic. So I need to know as I can decide if my ideas will work with the space.
I have been playing around with an idea of using lights with my Threads , to the observer will not show which is the thread or the shadow.. Not sure if my proposal for my Degree Show Will work, until I get my Space..
My Family getting fed up with this show already and we have 30 days left…..
This week as been ups and downs, enjoying being in the durber gallery. It good to go big and get out of my studio space.
Tutors drop a bomb shell yesterday. We have our assessments 4 days before the Degree Show, not after like it as been years before , which means we can not go into ours spaces for 2 days. We cannot believe they only just told us, We do not even know were our drgree space is yet. I wonder does this happen else where.
Anyway I have to focus now….
