ARTISTS TALKING

# 3 [24 August 2010]

I'm rubbish with prices, I never charge for my time, I know I should but nothing would ever sell. The materials have cost next to nothing and for 'Pores for Thought' they've cost nothing at all because they're left overs from 'Illegal Logging'. The gallery takes 25% and obviously posting them needs to be taken into consideration.

I just really want to get my work out there and think it doesn't matter if I'm making no money so long as I'm not losing any. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to be making a living out of it but I haven't long graduated and have to be realistic. How great would it be to get my work seen in New York.

I need to fill in an entry form and send it along with images of the work, a resume and an artist statement. I need to measure 'Pores for Thought' and decide on prices but the rest is done.

Before I send the email I'm going to find out how much it will cost to send them to America just in case.

I want to submit work into this book art exhibition. The category I'm entering it into is:

1) ARTIST BOOKS: An "artist’s book" or book art is a work of art, visual or conceptual in nature that refers to books or the idea of the book. It is not illustrations done for books. They are "objects (or sculpture) which have been inspired by, or heavily influenced by "the idea of the book."http://www.wahcenter.net/exhibits/2010/artandbook/

My work doesn't fit perfectly into it but I think it's close and worth a try.

I'm thinking of putting forward 'Forest: lungs of the World', 'Illegal Logging' and 'Pores for Thought'. I know I haven't got much of a chance but if you don't try you don't get.
