new year, new work

Happy new year to you all! As in the title, new year = new work. Now the festive period is over, I have stopped making stuffed animals and moved onto new works. The above image is a detail from new work I have made for the Generator Members Show (23rd, Jan, 7-9pm, preview night. Mid Wynd Ind Est, Dundee). I have had a project in mind for some time now and this work is the first step in the developement of that. There has been a set back with this project though, I was hoping to use the space at Generator but they have their programme for the next year sorted, so I would have to wait until the new committee takes over in November. This means I could potentially not get the space til November 2010! This has put a spanner in my funding application plan. Oh, the life of an artist; it’s a balancing act of the right proposal, venue and funding. Nightmare! So now i have to look for another venue, can’t really think of any others in Dundee that would be as suitable as the Generator space. The thinking cap is firmly on. Help!
