Reading back through my text documentation, it still seems to be making sense. Only thing is, I’m not quite sure how to share it – I think the best thing will be to post it up here once I’ve got the professional photographs back, so that the images put the text in context and vice versa.
The other thing I’ve been thinking about over the last few days is social networking / blogging and the arts (or more accurately, my practice as an artist and how social networks can show my work to more people). This basically came about from opening a Twitter account a couple of days ago, as it seemed a good idea at the time. Interestingly enough, I then came across some musing along related lines on Fabrica Gallery’s blog: http://www.thetangledhedgerow.blogspot.com/ (see the September 8th and August 19th posts), which I got to via Twitter. What he says about the ‘behind the scenes’ bit seems to make sense, I think that’s pretty much how most people view their blogs – a more casual, social approach to discussing their practice.
What I have found quite tricky is transferring this more laid-back manner to my website – some things make sense to be formal (statement, cv etc) but I’m attempting to make the commentary about the works a little more informal, as I think it can be more interesting to read then.
Just updated it today, so have a look if you fancy it: www.laurenhealey.co.uk
