I've been working the last 2½ months and time for my art practice has been severely lacking. This is the plight for many artists.
I have been piercing holes into my large roll of paper, the beginnings of the artwork for my solo show later this year, and managed to achieve 2m worth. I was surprised and very pleased. But, it has been a very mechanical process done without much thought, pure mechanical making. I haven't really felt attached to the work.
When we get to our next destination I will be able to roll the paper out properly and have a good look at what I've done so far, and 2m worth of pierced paper should give me a good indication of how the work is going to look on a larger scale.
Shawn and I are on the move again returning back to Mull in Scotland, this time for a longer stay. It also means I will have my own studio to come and go as I please. I am very lucky for I will be able to take up a full time art practice and get those creative juices operating properly again. I am really looking forward to it.
Other news to tell is that a video has been produced from the show I was in last October 2011 called 'Postcards from Europe' where artists from all over Europe were invited to create a postcard sized artwork responding to the place where they live and work.
