Back from hospital after my operation. Was lucky to have a room to myself and free TV. Don’t know what I did to deserve it but anyhow it meant I watched too much TV, although by the last day I’d had enough and read all of Brief Lives instead.
So home and back to work. Submitted a funding bid yesterday to Screen South. They have a good system of a panel to discuss the bid with you and in this case give some advice on tweaking it in time for the final decision-making panel. I tweaked it as they suggested but didn’t reduce the budget as much as they wanted. Just feel they ask alot for their money. If we don’t get enough to run the project, we won’t do it.
Submitting another bid tomorrow for “New Recipes” funding from the Kent Arts Development Unit. Won’t hear until end July whether successful.
In the meantime we – that’s DAD – have interest from Saga in our Watermark project. We suggested that not only the former Buckland Mill employees but also we fall within their target population!
Still working on defining my practice, especially with the thesis behind me. Did this drawing today – very much work in progress. I’m thinking of working with text too.
