Time to review my year.
2013 has been a year for eliminating unnecessary time wasting, limiting when I say yes to things.
Things that have changed for the better:
Being invited to show in two group exhibitions, one local and one regional.
For the worse:
Time and money worries for next year – I’m wondering on entering my last six months at college what time I will have available to me after June to devote to projects. I am reckoning on having to get up very early to get the hours in.
My major achievements:
Volunteering to talk in front of a large group of students to promote the college magazine – and then doing it again! (And not fluffing it too badly)
Co-ordinating the display of students from Fine Art at Hereford College of Arts in a local office.
Re-arranging my time so I give myself more time to paint and make – often hard to justify to myself mostly (family are very supportive, but I know I do test the patience of my nearest and dearest)
What do I wish I had achieved?:
I would like to have been more reflective and analytical on my own work throughout the year.
I would like to have made better micro decisions (how I use my time).
I would like to have arranged a meet the artists gathering for the local offices displaying our work.
What would make 2014 a better year than 2013? :
Well, like Emily Speed says (here http://new.a-n.co.uk/news/single/2013-how-was-it-f… )
I would like to take more time and reflection over decisions to make sure it is the best decision I can make at the time.
Try less prevaricating, in speaking and actions, but most importantly in my own head!
