Papertrails Residency

I’m on the home stretch now in terms of this project. My final exhibitions for Papertrails open on 17 Jan with the PV on Saturday 19 January. It seems to be coming together. There is more work to be done on some of the larger pieces I am making for the show but at the moment it is looking as I would like it to. As ever there are things that I would like to handle differently. I would like to show less work with more space around it to allow it to breathe but I know part of the point of this show is to demonstrate the range of work and the number of ways that local people were involved so an empty space with one large piece of work in a pool of light isn’t how it can be. I had a lovely Christmas without feeling that my roles of artist and mum were in conflict. That is the way I would like next year to be too.
