After thinking about it for a long time I have finally decided to take the plunge and committed myself to taking part in this years Perthshire Open Studios.
Public Art by definition is not a studio based practice; my career has focused on designing, creating, & making work to commission, often these are constructed on site and I can be away from the studio for months at a time, very little to see back at base. Taking place between the 7th-15th September the event is little under 22 weeks away. Recent changes offer new possibilities, my aim over the next few months is to use the POS as a catalyst to exploring these in positive & productive ways.
Opening a studio, or in my case – ‘The Shed’ – necessitates making a to-do-list of things requiring attention to make the visitors experience safe, interesting, & hopefully fun, my worry at the moment is that my list contains so many items that have nothing to do with creating ‘art’ that I wonder if I’ll have anything to ultimately exhibit!
Please check back as the year progresses to see if I manage to reduce the to-do-list, fingers crossed I’ll be able to put on a display that will be worth coming to view.
