Its been a while since I've written here. Its a strange experience writing a blog; there's a conflict between the ever present feeling that this is going out into the public domain whilst if is to be worthwhile it needs to be honest, to describe the patches that feel dry and low energy, the set backs with funding, the batting your head against a brick wall experiences… So it is this latter place that has dominated the last few weeks. And I guess it can be as much part of the pattern of practice as the energised creative flows where almost in spite of yourself wonderful things happen – doors open and ideas stream.
But good things are happening. I am working with a group of artists really committed to the project (despite our funds being smaller than we had hoped) so something really exciting will definitely come out of it (and in terms of process and collaboration already is). I have a place on an MA at Falmouth in September. And I am beginning to get a feel for the shape of work that is coming out of the research…
The next fortnight is pretty much taken up with children home for Easter and off to London next week for a National Trust/Arts Council conference (with a spot of gallery trawling thrown in for good measure!!).
