I am going away for the next week and I will be busy setting up and manning my exhibition in Ramsgate as part of the Summer Squall festival. I’ll be fine with doing the art work and getting them in the post on time, but with limited IT and no broadband added to little time, the quality or even presence of my blog entries is at risk.
Still that is in the future. Today’s piece is in a combination of media that I have not used in this project to date. In retrospect I wish I had not chosen something that took so long!
From the fact that I am looking forward to tomorrow’s piece you should not conclude that I am not happy with today’s. Today’s is just fine. What I mean is that I have an idea for tomorrow’s about which I am really excited. Now it could be that it turns out to be rubbish or I might even forget what I am currently planning or, as often happens, it will take on its own life and develop in a new, as yet unknown, direction. What ever happens I am really interested to see what happens.
I’m in Ramsgate and it’s late and I have done my #Letter365 piece (well almost, I’m giving it a little time to make sure I’m happy with it) and I had already prepared the envelope in advance but what I did not do was stick on a stamp! Nor did I bring any with me. I thought off going down the pub and trying to see if anyone has any stamps, but I’m sorry of time and the thought of explaining to drinkers at the end of the night why I needed a stamp before midnight was a little daunting, so I have decided to leave it in the hands of fate. I will leave it with a note and a £1 coin in the empty house I am staying in and hope the owners our house sitters will post it for me! No160 gets left for fate to deliver
I’ve been so busy preparing for and procrastinating about my show in Ramsgate today that I almost for got to post this blog entry – then I realised that I had forgotten to post the letter in the post box. I did it hours ago and just forgot to stop off on the way back from the studio. I did forget to date stamp the outside though.
