Received our invitations to the Big Draw 2010 event on May 24th at the British Museum. Southwell Artists will receive a runners-up award for the 2009 Big Draw in the Southwell Minster – presented by Posy Symmonds. I’ve booked my train ticket :)
We are back in the driver’s seat again. It’s been important to have independant advice and Jon hasn’t found any gremlins or holes in our argumentts. But like most ordinary people we just can’t afford solicitors. The court system in the UK is an expensive business and only for the rich who can pay the eye-watering sums for legal advice. The files come back today. I spent an hour trying to find a Precedent H schedule of costs form on the Ministry of Justice site. There’s a string of definitions and rules but finding the actual form is not easy for Jo public.
It’s going to be busy at Harrington Mills in a couple of weeks time. There are a few furniture manufacturers in the complex and they will be show-casing their collections. http://www.longeatonguild.co.uk/Visitor-Information-2 The equivalent of our open studios…
I popped inot the studio today to pick up work and it was a great chance to see Dan’s work without people around, especially after he had given a detailed account of his thought process. The show charts his journey from paintings containing figurative elements to work which is stripped of such references. As my work has gone in the opposite direction, it’s interesting to see how the bounderies between figurative and non-representational work begin to blur. It’s great to have Dan’s work at HMS ans I know the artists find it inspirational to have other artists visiting our studios.
We had a spiky debate at the mill today about non representational painting.
