After a few cups of tea and a large homemade cake *thanks Andrew* i feel a lot calmer.
Now the challenge is FOCUS! Which ive worked on today, spent the afternoon writing and re-writing artist statements and i seem to be trying to say too much. So i moved onto building up an artist CV. Now, these are 'interesting' and i hate them even more than a normal CV. I look at the cold harsh listing of exhibitions infront of me on plain paper. I see the lack of exhibitions done away from the university. And i feel embarrassed. It makes me not want to submit my work to galleries because they also ask to see my artist CV. I find it an unnerving experience showing my artwork to a person who doesnt know my work and may or may not understand it. Let alone showing them my 'lack of experience'.
So ive decided to try and apply to a few exhibitions and galleries in the surrounding area. Ahhh! A lot of the deadlines are the beginning of December, time limits! Ahhh!
So tomorrow im planning on an early start, go in and catch a lecturer and see if they can give my artist CV and one or two of my applications a once over. I also want to get into the casting workshop before the masses arrive in the later morning. Im looking at making negative space castings with the body. The idea of intimacy and the space between us. The negative space between two hands holding is my first experiment.
Lets see what happens.
Time for more cake and tea me thinks. :-)
