Interesting that my last post had sparked so many responses – directly from the blog or by personal email and discussion. I was going to respond to everyone individually, but I needed to think things through. I seem to have made a 90 degree turn around since having a moan about the a-n ‘Trade off survey’ as mentioned in my blog #14 and I wanted to go off and think about why.
I do envy Kate Murdoch for taking an entire year off to concentrate solely on her work. Me – I’m just taking some time off from the exhibition frenzy, I don’t know how long for.
I don’t think I will go back to the competition circus. I also think I will continue to avoid the hastily put together exhibitions organised by disparate groups of artists just for the sake of exhibiting. It is a really good feeling just doing things for myself.
