Our new home is beautiful, big and spacious, but it comes with responsibility. It needs looking after, cleaning and maintenance. It is our place of work.
One of the rooms is my studio. It is huge compared to any studio I've ever had. I have been able to roll out the pierced paper I have been working on over the winter. Here are some photos of the work 'in progress':
I am very pleased with the results, but as mentioned in my last blog, the makings of this artwork have been very mechanical. I hope to be able to engage with the work in more depth now.
I've been up to the arts centre on the island where I had my residency last summer. It was lovely to be back there and meet up with friends. The centre have a great program lined up for the coming year and I look forward to being part of this community.
The last two years travelling in the van have been brilliant but it is time to stop and earn some money. With happy memories of our 'van life', my focus is on my solo show, developing my networks and portfolio.
