What can I do but state the obvious as evidence proves – yes I have failed to plan my day to allow for blogging. I have however managed to do quite a few of the other objectives I set myself – managing to get most of my ‘list’ done each day. Getting up at 6.30 and fitting in an hour of work before 15mins of cut-throat e-mail ‘slash and burn’ having got my e-mail in box down from 280 to a respectable 138 (ok – I know but it’s better!) and then doing some spritually enlightening yoga (whilst yelling at the children to get ready for school -obviously).
My target of setting myself fewer projects at one time is partially working and I am trying to target things that specifically suit my work.
So it is with great excitement that I can reveal that I will be showing my work at KINETICA next month.
Frantic publicity making is now taking over – not quite to the Edinburgh Fringe lengths that I went to but nearly….
Now I need to know where to send everything to.
I have decided to do a round up of my year to let people know what I have been up to – is this a good thing to do – I’m not sure – it could be the equivalent of a ’round robin’ in tackiness or a fabuously brilliant and inspired idea. I am trying to limit cringe-factor by keeping it to pictures not words. I had intended to send it by e-mail in addition to post – in the spirit of thriftyness – however as it comes out at 27MB in memory I don’t think it will send too well – Note to self – find out how to send big files – there must be a way….
Having to ‘report’ at the end of the day is proving useful. Not that I wasn’t focused on doing my work – that is the main focus of everyday, even when I know that it is just not going to happen – but now it seems to be judged. Wether or not anyone is reading this I will never know but that fact that it is here is enough.
Today I have sewn the final whites onto Spectrum – getting worried as about 50% too few. Planning to feed kids lots of messy spagetti with tomato sauce.
Wonderworld nearly fully astroturfed – I am considering a new career in tricology.
Pictures scanned.
School ‘art attack’ afternoon completed – the other parents all now hate me as I got the kids to make multi-coloured party blowers – which of course they all blew at once. What sweet music.
getting the feeling I’m running behind a speeding bus.
A day of madly running (yes actually running) between jobs – this is how I am going to achieve the London Marathon next year (running for RNIB – if you care to sponsor me – all donations gratefully received at http://www.justgiving.com/Sophie-Cullinan
thank you).
Wonderworld looking nicely textural – having collected the electrical bits last night all I need to do now is recut the acetate to make it all fit. Famous last words.
As I am nearing the end of my currently available labels for ‘spectrum’ I will need to have a major clothing cull in order to get it looking as it should. ‘scary scissor wielding moment’ coming up….
Monday – daily report:
Wonderland world – base collected from electrician. Finishing layer started. Tubular knitting lady contacted.
Mutant sputnik artichoke gobstopper looking good!
Spectrum – 12 labels sewn. Rest cut and ironed.
I foresee one small problem – does this public listing of how I make my work remove the exotic mystery of art. Rest assured – I have left out all the deep and meaningful references to baffle you all.
