Saturday has mainly been a housework and domestic chores day. Washing, grocery shopping, tidying etc. The fairies don’t do it unfortunately.
I’ve spend 4 hours on e-learning to be a census collector in the hope of getting some kind of income. So far none of the art projects have been fruitful although many of them I won’t here back from for a while. I just need a little budget for materials and i’ll be laughing.
I’ve got an interview for a clothes store job on Monday. It’s 5mins from my studio and I’ll get about 60 quid a week which will cover food and travel but if I’m to make any serious progress I need to get a lump sum that I can allocate to materials.
I’ve applied for a Professional development loan and I should find out next week what the decision on that is. In the meantime all I can do is do the best with what I’ve got and I have found bits and pieces along the way.
Tomorrow i will make a few beer can cameras and I can use the photographic paper I got on Friday in those. Then all hell will break loose as I launch Live Art Week at my studio.
Participants have been positive but my fellow studio holders not so. They come from a more traditional background and don’t seem to value what I’m doing. Maybe they see it as a threat or as being to risky. I’ve tried to talk to them but it’s all a bit passive aggressive. I suppose it all part of the groups evolution – norming, storming, performing…
So no art don’t just getting ready but that’s half of it.
