still life

I will confess I was a little disorganised when it came to the lead up of my show.  The problem being for me is I am quite a perfectionist and had to accept I had limited time to get it all together.  I also got into a slight panic as my lovely curator Camilla was ill and unsure whether she would be there to help out.


Well the weekend came, I had done enough work for the show and set off west!  It was lovely to be heading back down into proper Cornwall and see friends and family - mixing business and pleasure.


Everything worked out well in the end, luckily curators know other curators so I had two on board and they were fantastic, thanks Kate and Eugenia!  I think we used the space wonderfully and the work really came together once in situ.


I was slightly worried about how the theme would be taken, being about death and all that.  But was pleasantly surprised by the reactions, I  must underestimate my audience, sorry :)


Here are some installation shots, proper documenting photos to follow soon (left in a rush grabbed camera, checked battery life - dead - and couldn't find charger).  I am due down again next weekend and have all week to find the charger!  It will also be great to see the evolution of the window piece.


If you do get a chance and find yourself in Falmouth then please go along and have a look, feel free to ask questions and leave comments.
