Great news! I took up my work to the Cork Street Open Exhibition and it was accepted! I now have a small sculpture hanging in a gallery space in Cork Street, London – very pleased indeed. Some of the works I saw when I went up last week were fantastic and my little piece has been positioned next to this rather striking sculpture. No sign of a red dot though; I have to say that I am not really that bothered about selling it as it’s the kudos of being involved in such a great event! The artist’s reception is on Wednesday and there will be a chance to meet some of the other artists and some gallery owners too. One of the artists that really caught my eye as Neil R Mason (www.neilrmason.com) his sculpted penguins are amazing and I attach the image so you can see for yourself.
Other news – I had a job interview for the position of Head of Art at a small prep school last week and they have invited me back for the next round! I have to teach an observed lesson to twelve 11 year olds. I really hope I don’t cock it up and deliver a dud. I know the children are familiar with Rousseau’s Surprised and I thought we could use that as a springboard for some interesting ideas. I have canvas board and jungle sounds at the ready. The interview is on the 28th January – so plenty of time to really get my knickers in a twist! Keep your fingers crossed.
Lastly but certainly not least, five of my pieces are hanging in King’s College Hospital’ Neurology Department together with other works from members of my cohort. We are going up there on Tuesday evening (weather permitting) for the PV. I am rather looking forward to meeting any researchers who may be interested in collaborating with me in the future.
It’s all very busy and exciting but not much creating going on. Seeing as we have a little snow on the ground all the campuses of K College have decided to shut! Maybe I can get on with something tomorrow – or maybe I shall go toboganning instead!
