Well here we are then – the last few days of mad panic before the opening this Saturday night. In fact we have to be all done and dusted by 5 on Thursday so those last minute little tweaks will have to be either done earlier or forgotten about all together. I’m still short of four boards in my exhibition space so this one is going to go right down to the wire. Everything else, well the major stuff anyway, is more or less done now (or will be by the end of today).
If this blog sounds a little tense (or is it terse? – both probably) then it’s probably because however hard you plan something will always pop up to confuse, confound or just generally throw a spanner in the works. Yesterday was one of those days. Started off by attempting to amputate a finger with a Stanley knife, then the rain came down just as I was trying to get my work into the back of the car, then the car decided to try and boil over. (Do you ever get the feeling that someone’s trying to tell you something?). It doesn’t seem to matter how hard you try to tell yourself that it will all be alright eventually, there’s still that monkey on your back making life b***dy difficult for you. Ah well, such is life.
