Agnes Martin told me that in 1994 when I interviewed her for my Fine Art BA thesis. I haven’t done very well so far, although I’ve had good runs along the way. A few weeks back, now that my two niños are back at school, and because I feel the time is right, I decided to give the studio another go – an artist’s self experiment.
I’m starting this blog thing because I’ve been literally cut off from my studio – we had the worst storms in 50 years here and the hailstones literally ripped through the canvas roof of the yurt I’d set up as a studio, while the river that borders our land rose 10m in a few hours and flooded the yurt from underneath… then the dirt track road got washed away. Oh and we’ve got no water or electricity even if we could get home. With more storms predicted tomorrow morning, I feel so ’so it goes…’ about it that I have to do something else actively instead.
So here’s my virtual studio space for now. Space to think. To do. Ideas and composition. We’ll see…
