Setting up 18 studios, Long Eaton, Nottingham

Today was the first day of my short residency at the Angears Centre, Lakeside. I am making a 2m drawing in ink on primed paper. I’ve made bigger drawings and I’ve primed paper on a large scale but never this big. Todays effort isn’t great but hopefully it will be better tomorrow when it’s dry. The staff have been helpful and friendly but there has been an absence of visitors. Unfortunately, the timing for my show has coincided major roadworks outside the lakeside for the new tramline.
