What does it mean to have a holiday?
I have a paid part time job at the university, which closes between Christmas and New Year, which this year means that from the 24th December to the 4th January, I don’t have to go to work. My first thought was: great, I can spend more time at the residency. But then I realised that I am really tired and need a break.
So I decided, take time off from the residency as well. But then why did I spend the whole morning writing a proposal for another project, and why am I now writing this??
Is it possible for a free lance artist to have a holiday? And if I spend my holiday drawing and doing watercolours, is that really a holiday??
