Wow, the last few weeks have flown past, the degree show, a London show and joining Newbloodart and the first few sales of work. So am I now an artist? Starting career number two. Such labels rarely help yourself they are more for other people. I just know it has been a great time after all the work and I want to keep working. That’s the difficult part, redirecting the focus now that college is over, whilst finding opportunities, considering jobs, thinking about exhibiting etc; when to find the time to make new work? And today first off, I need to make redcurrant jelly, a bumper crop down at the allotment.
But for the rest of the week, I have three days of play coming up, back into the print workshop. I have mainly been drawing over the last few months so it will be fun to get my hands mucky with ink again as I experiment with some etching and collagraphs. A chance just to play with some ideas that might lead to something new, just see where it all goes.
