I’ve been away from here for over a week now, and it feels strange. I feel as if there is so much to write and catch up on, but I’m not sure where to start…
I’ll just say that I’ve been preparing some work for the auction we have coming up (a degree show fundraiser) and I didn’t think I would feel this nervous, what if nobody bids on my work? I’ve taken some photographs but forgotten my camera, so I’ll add them tomorrow…one piece is a simple layered drawing on gampi tissue, and the other is a burn drawing which was shown in Japan last year (I’m hoping that encourages people to bid!)
Either way, I think it should be an exciting night, we have a preview on 9th February and the actual event is 17th, you never know who might turn up and who’s work will be in a bidding war!
My other work isn’t going so well, we’ve had our feedback, but only on a written sheet of paper. This isn’t very helpful as you can’t pinpoint the exact positives and negatives of last semester. I’ve attempted to start some work by doing small “test pieces” but I don’t want to launch myself into anything for the fear that when I do have a tutorial I’ll be told that I’m moving in the wrong direction. I’ll have to hunt sombody down this week…
