Heard back from Wolstenholme Gallery and I will be part of their Independent Biennial exhibition, great news. Looking forward to meeting them in the next couple of weeks to finalise exactly what will be viable.
So excited by this, it’s a cracking space to have work in.
Also met with Simon at the Lauries Centre and my books can go in their balcony mid July, alongside this I will put 4-5 artist books that I’ll make, on a butterfly/bug theme that can reference the Butterfly Park and then I can leave some flyers there to entice people down to visit too.
I presented my project so far to my wee Uni group last week, we all did, via Powerpoint and chatted afterwards about the way each project is going. All went really well, the other 3 projects sound really interesting too. It’s so odd working in this manner as on a BA you’re studio based and see your fellow students on a regular basis, catching up on projects often and sharing ideas. On an MA (well…on this MA) contact is much more sporadic so when we see each others work it’s always much more of a surprise.
Went to see Wirral Met Degree show last week, know most of them from last year, it was great to see how much some of them had progressed since last year, it was a really good exhibition. Strange to think that this time last year I was in their shoes, not knowing what to do next. Stressed, nervous about the future.
Yet here I am half way through an MA, on a residency, a few exhibitions under my belt, couple more to come and loving every minute of it.
The answer was definitely to not rest on my laurels, I’m glad i decided to go for the MA straight away after my degree whilst still in right frame of mind to continue learning and progressing.
