with the residency in place i turned my attention to the matter of income. i’m yet to listen to the podcast series artonomics. from the trailer description i have a handle on how being a contemporary artist involves more than visually expressing ideas, admin, marketing stints, and looking for further projects. indeed it involves having an eye on income streams often outside of the contemporary artworld. long story short i have been successful in applications for a part time job and an 80 hour internship through the university of derby.
with theses in place i feel more secure and safe to work in the studio, to start to consider where to pick up the research, and how to pursue the feeling that the study journey needs to continue because i miss being on the ma so much.
