I sent my form and pics in for the RA Summer Exhibition today – not holding out much hope – cursing myself already for wasting £50 on such folly (and my father is fuming with steam pouring out of his ears at the thought).
I submitted WORN a couple of years ago and got nowhere. I was a little gratified when I visited the exhibition (snarling all the way) to see that there is proportionally a teeny amount of sculpture in there. I suppose they have so much wall space and not much floor space.
So this year I thought – SOCKPAINTINGS! except they too have a bit of a problem with them in that they are ‘interactive’. I have never seen this sort of work at the Summer Exhibition – it is probably too temperamental and problematic.
So I await the thud of rejection again…. (I hope to be proved wrong).
