Back into the normal routine now, its been several months since I left the island. I have so far managed to stick to quite a few of my resolutions, in particular the reading, drawing, looking and walking. I have made some new work and am still distilling the Inishlacken experience. I have to write a proposal for the forthcoming show in Galway Arts Centre that will showcase all the artists who have been on the island over the past eight years. At least I think this is correct. Rethinking it, I guess not ALL of the artists will show work. My proposal is late – it was requested three weeks ago – but I have only made a tentative start to date and knowing my way of working this is because the ideas are not yet fully formed in my head and like all good things they will happen when they are ready and cannot be forced.
Am I making excuses? probably …
Could I write the proposal now? Yes, but it would not be as detailed as I would like.
Should I get on with it instead of writing this Blog?
YES
