After the buzz and euphoria of being selected for my first exhibition has settled, I realised I have fallen off the wagon in terms of blog posts. I’m still working behind the scenes to complete my collection before September, but I’ve been feeling really overwhelmed when I think about how do I market this body of work.
So I spoke to a friend about my challenges and she suggested I start from the inspiration behind the collection….duh right? My tiny breakdown and her words of advice also came at the same time that I had to compose my artist’s bio for the exhibition and it made me really think about the ‘Why’. And since as the saying goes; people don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it; of course much thought needs to be placed into that area.
With that thought in mind, I leave you with another teaser…starting from the bottom and continuing over the next month with a documentation of my thoughts, process, materials, challenges and successes in compiling my first collection.
