I’m still waiting to hear about the Open Space funding I applied for. I had hoped it would all be sorted mid January, but it hasn’t materialised, and I’ve heard no more about it. I was starting to get past my anxieties about making another ACE grant application, and was considering using this as match funding.
I’ve been busy updating my portfolio for my planned trip to London.
It’s been suggested that I become an hourly paid lecturer to earn some extra money, and support my practice. I have support for this.
On Tuesday I procrastinated too much and went to an artist’s talk by Kay-oi Jay Yung. Her work has similar theme to mine, and it was good to see what she’s doing. Gave me back a sense of positivity. It was lovely to meet her and see what she’s up to.
She invited me to her show in Blackpool, but this week I also heard news that Grandad had died, so we’re waiting to find out when the funeral is.
I must stress that I’m not a negative person by nature, but when I keep trying and getting nowhere, I end up turning into something that I’m not, and I don’t like that.
I remembered that I’m still waiting on some funding I applied for back in October, and that I’m doing everything I can, so I’m not being hard on myself.
