Supporting small-audience practice – an a-n bursary project

The second part of my project is seeking to set my work in new contexts. This involved contacting programmers and curators, especially those engaged with sculpture, to talk about how my one-to-one practice might sit in a museum/gallery context. Producer Andrew Mitchelson and I contacted a long list of people. So far I have had three meetings, which have all been valuable and given me a lot to think about. Thank you to Laurence Sillars at Henry Moore Institute, Paul Hobson at Modern Art Oxford, and especially to Sam Trotman and Jenny Salmean at Scottish Sculpture Workshop. Although nothing concrete has come out of these meetings (and in some ways they’ve confirmed the feeling that audience numbers are still the bottom line), they have suggested some creative ways of getting my practice more visible and present.
