I sometimes wonder about the artists who say they are travelling up and down the country dropping off work and installing exhibitions.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think they are lying – I’m just curious to find out how they can afford to do that. I’m doubting that the galleries/ venues involved pay expenses – so does it all come out the of the pockets of the artists?
Also, If they are doing all of this travelling – how do they find the time to work ? ( paid or their own )
It’s crossing my mind as I have to spend yet another bank holiday weekend working, as my own work piles up around the house in various stages of completion, waiting to be assembled.
If it wasn’t for the fact that I saw two people dressed as seagulls, entertaining the holiday makers yesterday, while staring out of the window feeling a bit envious of everyone enjoying the sun – it would be depressing.
I bet they were artists.
