After an exhibition I am forced to step back and look at previous work to reconsider and look at existing work with a fresh eye to be able to forge ahead on new projects. I have needed time to restock galleries that I have been neglecting in order to have the exhibition, time to complete works already begun and to start on some new ideas. For once my nose is away from the grindstone and it is a good time to revitalize creativity and as we all know, time is in short supply!
Since the exhibition I have sent works to the Abalone Gallery in Hermanus and The Art Room in Umhlanga. I have finished two works in the last month which are now at The Art Room.
I have started some new works in wood, one of which is a flat wall wooden sculpture. I have not made one of these for a few years, simply because I have not found the right piece of wood. These wood pieces have been some of my most exciting and successful in the past years. The other is a collaboration between myself and twenty-four 4 to 5 year old pre-school scholars. This is a fund-raising project for my son Jack’s pre-primary school.
Needless to say I am terrified!
