my work - installing the work

Yesterday I spent 10 hours installing my work. I started at 10am and around 8.15pm when the lights were directed towards the flags I was done. Arms aching, feet sore and I was hungry. There were a few moments of laughter and almost tears when after 8hrs the struts fell down but I was very lucky when people jumped in to help.

After hours of stitching, months of work and 3 months of thought......it is done. I can't say right now if I am pleased, or happy or proud. When I see the people move through the space, if it catches their attention if I see people be interested, if it moves or delights then I can comment.

What I do know is that Dad is now is London and I know he would be happy and I have made it to the end of a process.

Currently stupid tired

I have reached the point of stupid tired again this week and it is Thursday morning; when you wake up from your sleep and you feel like you haven't slept at all. I know it is due to the completely hectic pace I am currently working at, with BIG BIG day job(which to my delight I am loving) and organising stuff for the upcoming Group Show. I volunteered to organise printing the programme and organissign schedule which sounds innocent enough but adds extras to my day. Add to that my ideas about wanting to have business cards(ordered), postcards(ordered) ad website(started last night with help from boy) ready for the show and I don't think I have stopped working before 11pm at night for the past month/s.

I did manage to fit in a weekend in Dorset that revived from previous month just enough to run the last mile.

On the countdown

One week away from being on a break from day job so I can focus on getting stuff sorted for the show and enjoy the process rather than running from place to place even in my own head.

10 days away from exhibition

11 days away from getting of jet plane back to Australia
