Well the weather has not been kind to us but we are artists
and we adapt to circumstances!
All the artists converged on the gardens on Wednesday, all
prepared to start putting work up but everything had to be delayed until the
Friday as the rain was just too incessant to be able to do anything
constructive. As far as my pieces went, I am glad to say, the night before I
gave the surfaces an extra layer of silicone which I am now very grateful for.
Friday was very exciting seeing months of planning and
construction finally go up and as my pieces were one of the first to be
assembled, the public started to interact with them almost immediately. One
thing I have to thank the weather for is that the storms held off for our
private view, which was a glorious evening. The Mayor and Mayoress were
genuinely impressed with what we had all achieved and a good time was had by
all.
Now comes the hard work! On Tuesday I have the first of two
assessments where two tutors come down to the gardens and critique my work.
These sessions are interesting and you never quite know how they are going to
pan out, but hopefully it will give me a bit of a kick towards what to discuss
in my end of year presentation. So now I am going to spend the next few days
documenting, drawing, recording and writing so that I have plenty of
information to call upon when I stand up in front of my peers at the end of the
term. I will keep you posted as to what I am planning – stay dry everyone!
