I'm now recovering from four days of guests as part of a local open studio event. It's good from time-to-time to be able to chat to people interested in what I do, openings rarely give you that opportunity. The weather was terrible, but hundreds of people came up to my little village, not only to see my work, but for concerts and performances. A friend of mine made a sound and video performance in our 17th Century chapel - images projected on to the ceiling; there was also a string quartet and a jazz duo on at other times over the weekend. Also, a choir sang in my studio, which proved to be a good idea as I made a few sales that night. Amongst the people who just came for the entertainment were some collectors... I also met a printmaker who has a large etching press which I may be able to use, a film-maker who knows all about Final Cut (and of particular interest for me, export settings for broadcast) and two gallery owners who have invited me to exhibit - so, all in all I can say it was a worthwhile experience. Back to work now though - my camera has been repaired so I'm planning on making some films, this time at night and I also have a new series of paintings which needs to be completed.
