TOWARDS TOMORROW
After 6 years working from a shared workspace at Blue Monkey Studio in Eastbourne, I’m going back to school. Everything is changing. I’m giving up my workspace, stepping down from local commitments, and focusing on my personal practice for a whole year.
These are busy weeks with my thoughts divided between several fronts. Accumulated clutter, equipment, materials all need to be transferred from Blue Monkey to a shed at the bottom of my garden. I must draw up a plan of action for my show at Quay Arts, which will happen slap bang in the middle of my MA. I’m beginning to get cold feet about the new project I’ve written for the MA, wishing I could focus more on the old mapping work which I want to show at Quay Arts.
I’ve just come back from a week in the Isle of Wight where I began to get a feel for the nature of the island. Now I need to make decisions about how much new work I can make for the show, and what direction that should take.
