OMG. It all so exciting and I am so shattered.
Our studio is being re-painted for the exhibition. we have just removed all our stuff. I didnt realise I had so much. Am I turning into a collector?!!!
Check List: flyers & invites done . Business designed but not printed. Sending more invites. Content & layout of exhibition – generally sorted. Personal Professional Portfolio generally done. Just sat exam – phew thats over. I think I am on track – hope so!!
I am applying for a B.A in Fine Art at Christ Church Canterbury – just cant stop pushing my boundries. Also applying for a studio bursary in Folkestone’s Creative Quarter, which I really need.
Good News is I have recieved a Student Award from U.C.F – Wow! I was surprised and somewhat embarressed but really gratefull.
I went to The Turner Contemporary at Margate today. I really enjoyed getting away and having a break. Its a great location. It was a super light filled building, very minimalist and contemporary – just as it says! Fantastic circular window overlooking the sea. I do love all things circular! The shows were super with excellent presentation and lots of breathing room. The highlight for me was Russell Crotty’s Spheres. I researched his work during this last year as part of my practice. He is a surfer dude from California who specialises in drawing – on walls and giant sketch books and I mean giant. Also of course on ‘Lucite’ spheres – which I love. He is inspired by the califorinian landscape and astronomy. This show consisted of three sketchbooks and three spheres. The spheres were landscapes. which were very apt for the Turner.
I would recommend a visit to anyone. It was agreat day.
Good luck to all other graduates.
Signing off.
