DISCIPLINE! is what I need!
Honestly I am hopeless. Several times I have sat down to write this blog (which I have neglected somewhat lately) and there I go thinking that I will have a quick look at everyone elses first – then lo and behold….
TIME ALL GONE – NO BLOG POST – aaaaaahhhhh.
So – dear everyone – all your posts look very interesting but just for now. I AM NOT GOING TO LOOK (not even a peek).
Where was I? Oh yes.
Tempting Failure was a while ago now and I have had time to let it settle in my mind a bit. As usual in my life, I returned home to a load of stuff to do and the school holidays – which is never a good mix. So the fact that I managed to master ‘photoshop’ (in a fashion) and produce a ‘PIG NOSE’ workshop is no small miracle! (pictures available on request).
I will do a more fulsome report of the debut of Cicatrix Macula (paratus) on my collaborative blog with Sally Lemsford ssocial ssocial

Needless to say it was a very interesting night and not in the way I particularly expected. Immediately afterwards I swore never to do another performance but (as you do) here I am applying for performance opportunities here there and everywhere now.
So this is what I have been doing this week – my superhero dreams are becoming real…….
It’s funny how one thing can completely change a whole mindset.
I’m delighted to say that I have been awarded one of the a-n RE:view bursaries. Hooray!!! Suddenly I feel like I can conquer the world again!
In addition to this, watching David Bowie on BBC4 last night and hearing about how much of a big blag the success of Ziggy Stardust was initially in America – it is clear to me that:
Nobody really knows anything – I CAN JUST MAKE IT ALL UP!
YOU are no smarter than I am (well ok you may be but go with it for a moment)….. it is all a matter of PERCEPTION.
Please now perceive me winning the Turner Prize……
With the threat of BIG SNOW coming, my well planned week has been yet more messed up. I had been planning to go to Wysing:

which looked very exciting. I expect this will have to be replaced by a day of sledging.
Having been virtually tied to the computer writing up a proposal all week it will be nice to get some fresh (if chilly) air.
With only three working days left until Easter, preparations for Cicatrix Macula are getting a bit frantic – thank god for Hugh my trusty ‘technical advisor’ who has (as ever) come up trumps with the actualisation of my odd requests. The broom chariots are ready (and filling the playroom) – now the challenge will be to keep the kids off them till

(am I plugging this too much?!)
just have to hope that the neighbours don’t call the police thinking there has been an incident…..
A much more productive week. And here i am torn – just written about Cicatrix Macula (paratus) which will be debuting at
a performance that I am doing in collaboration with Sally Lemsford….. see our SSoCiaL page….

so feel like I have written this already! The rest of my time I have been frantically preparing my application for the RE:view bursary – fingers crossed as it is such a great opportunity. I have been having a break from #FridayFailure which has been good for mental health but not so good for attempting to get work exhibited. I am trying to be much more choosy now with things that I apply to – fast boat on my mind at all times.
