Bit the bullet and decided to request an extension from ACE on the period of R&D, mostly due to the fact that my proposed timetable was ludicrously back to front, a fact which only became apparent from actually becoming immersed in the process. I had originally planned to visit and research galleries while gathering research for the proposed body of work. What I quickly realised was that it should have been work first, galleries later, when I actually had something tangible to show them. Lis Spenser fired me a quick email back to say that an extension would be fine and all's well again.
The trouble with gathering research, making work, learning new skills, juggling community projects, managing four kids etc. is the home tends to degenerate over time into utter chaos, which is OK because I don't really give a stuff about housework, but not OK when it has just taken me two days of searching to unearth documents for the car tax. I feel trapped in a circle of no time for housework because of work, cant find important things because of mess because of lack of housework, cant find time for work cause am spending my time looking for stuff because of the mess, because of the lack of housework because of work. Anybody got any answers?
