I have been focusing my (blogging) energies on my general site over the last while - and my artistic energies on extraneous projects - I've taken a committee position on both FSCLAP (Vice President of that puppy) and Sculpture on the Edge (Media... I think!) - and I've got a number of personal projects on the go at the moment as well.....
In May I'm opening Sams Creek Bookworks - it's a creative/business/community/ecological venture of mine and of course I'm stupidly overcomitted already but..... when the time is right to do these things, well things just have to be done.... so I'll just have to bite the bullet and get what needs to be done DONE
On that same tack - in just a few weeks time now I've committed myself to a small solo exhibition (is there such a thing?)
codex interruptum - the interrupted book will be a smallish affair - hopefully manageable and hopefully I'll be able to recoup my costs (as our financial situation at the moment is precarious!)
I'll primarily be showing the work from the end of my MVA, a few things that I won't be using in this MFA, and some craft items (some small hand bound books etc) - My motivation for holding the show at this time is to have some closure for my MVA work, to promote what I'm up to now (lest some folk think I've moved away or something!), and to give myself more confidence in showing this work publicly.
well here goes
I've shared lots of other news of book/award success on my usual blog..... but I'll reiterate in here in a short while - I'll also be sharing some of my plans for this year's work.... (I'm slowly getting there!)
right now - it's all hands on deck to get through the solo exhibition, the preparations for the launching of sams creek bookworks, all the other life commitment!!!!!
