With the RA summer show deadline looming I am trying to decide what to submit? I’m confident I can finish a new piece within this period but I am also pondering refining an existing piece as I have several as yet unfinished drawings that I am in the process of completing.
I was thinking the summer show might be a good place to begin trying to exhibit my work – at least submitting and seeing what happens? The way I see it it can only be a positive experience regardless of the outcome. I think a deadline whilst in the abyss of producing work basically in solitude will stimulate activity – thus increasing productivity and – if I am accepted I will receive the benefit of a little validation for what I do. Also becoming used to preparing pieces for exhibition.
I have also entered into the Conversed and Dazed emerging artist award – nothing ventured – nothing gained.
What the hell…I have to remind myself we live only once – so why not go for what you want…take it and run with it as hard as you can.
