Scratching the Surface

It seems that my practice is continually evolving and changing. I was quite enjoying that feeling of knowing what I was doing for a little while. It’s a cyclical process and once again I feel that I’m back to square one so to speak. It’s not unlike snakes and ladders, where you feel you are progressing and then land on the snake and go back a few places. I need to add something new that is fixed to my work. Perhaps an image or a trace of an image that is barely glimpsed amongst the interplay and alchemy of materials?

I’ve had some really good news, I’m going to be taking part in an exhibition back home in Ireland in October. I feel both apprehensive and excited at the same time. It’s a really good opportunity for me. I work quite a lot as I’m doing my Masters part time and I’m self funded, so this is going to make me extremely busy.
