From a promising start it's turning into a bit of a rubbish week. In terms of tasks to do I have to prepare for more workshops at the Lightbox on Saturday and I am continuing my research for the project based at Caterham, and also preparing information relevant to the development of St George's in Esher into a place for art. I'm not sure why I'm not feeling so positive right now; I suppose I would just like to actually make some work instead of all this 'stuff to do'. Sometimes I'm not so sure that it was such a brilliant move to alter the role of the artist to the all-round expert and general contortionist that seems to be part of the job description now.
Looking at things more positively though, it beats most other ways I have tried of earning a living and next week promises to be much more interesting than this one. I always enjoy running workshops even if I agonize about them beforehand! In relation to that, I had a lovely letter from someone who had been on my workshop at Guildford House Gallery on Saturday saying how much she had enjoyed it so that really puts it all into perspective. And in terms of counting my blessings, I have been approached by a gallery interested in some of my older work including this piece from 1999. So everything is great really!
