I visited today the Potteries museum to see the space in which Sam and I would be exhibiting as part of The Artist and the City exhibition. We also had the opportunity to visit the museum stores where ‘The Pit’ is currently being stored. It is one thing to see a painting on a computer screen and quite another to see the real thing. I am a little in awe at the moment as I need to have a finished painting by the 5th of January but I know I have interesting photos already from Middleport Pottery so it will happen. I just need to think very clearly about my intentions and how I can execute them.
I have started to clear out my darkroom studio space and bring my work out for presentation to the exhibition area. I have a large wall area to fill and am fully aware that presentation of the paintings in a ‘white cube’ environment will improve the results. I think I have my layout now and I will complete this on monday. Then I can concentrate on my plans for the Artist and the City exhibition over the christmas break.
The text paintings I have been talking about a lot are now attached.
