135 - Audition

I went to collect my work from Trinity Buoy Wharf today. It took all day. There was an artist in the collection area who piped up about what a pain it was and how much it cost in time and money to participate. I definitely had those thoughts, but today was a much cooler day and I quite enjoyed the trip. 

I accepted that my name wasn't going up in lights, and it felt a lot easier than an audition. I felt glad I'm not an actor. I had this good feeling that I'd played my part. I enjoyed the camaraderie of the other artists. And weirdly it was lovely to get my work back. I'd forgotten how fussy I felt about handing it over. Maybe because I've only just created it - I still haven't installed it all on a wall and properly photographed it and mulled it over.

Potentially I'll have plenty of work to exhibit at open studios next year, unless I submit it somewhere else meantime. I need more time to ferment it. I might change some aspects of the violet and yellow piece.
