New directions
A part from the fact that my studio is frozen and unreachable with the snow, I am planning my next year of activity and I feel I need a change of strategy.
After a very promising 2009, in which Origin gave me a real boost, I find myself in the unexpected situation of having had all my applications for 2010 rejected. I have been excluded from CAL, Rufford, Potfest, Hatfield and Farnham, and I can’t apply for Ceramics in the City because it falls on a Jewish holiday!
It feels as if my wings have been cut before I could demonstrate I could fly.
I am at lost of ideas and I don’t know what to do next.
It is very strange, last year I felt lost with confidence and lonely in my studio, this year I am bursting with ideas, I am looking forward to better weather to get to work, but I risk making work and accumulate it unsold and unshown in boxes.
The only idea that comes to my mind is to go from gallery to gallery to promote myself but it feels a bit like begging.
I would like to have a personal exhibition, but I think it is a bit early to aim for that and I would not even know how to begin in organizing it.
I thought that by participating to shows soon or later galleries would notice me and eventually I would be invited to events and themed exhibitions, but evidently I have been naïve and something else needs to be invented.
