Silence outside, no cars, everyone inside watching the World Cup. I have been in the garden today, photographing paintings when, the sun goes in and fixing Ryman hangers to the stretcher frames.
The process of organising the exhibition is a huge learning experience. The painting time has finished and now it’s into a different mind set as I think about selecting and positioning,and looking at the work trying to see it as a viewer. I would really just like to go back into the studio with fresh canvases and get working. This is the part I have been dreading to be honest. Other peoples private views are much more fun. I am anticipating though, that this challenge will provide me with the opportunity of seeing, and engaging with the work in a different way. I have only been able to see three canvases together at one time, in our seminar space. It will be interesting to see what happens in the gallery.
Bucks New Uni Fine Art Degree show is open and it has been inspiring to see how the graduating students, staff and technicians have transformed the studio into a contemporary gallery space and the effect this new environment has had on viewing the work.
‘EXPLICIT‘ FIne Art Degree show at Bucks New Uni OPEN, 10am- 4pm, Mon 14th- Thurs 17th June.
