It is the highlight of my year, and a good time to reflect on what really matters, and why I am driven to make art.
So first of all, I want to thank all those supportive friends, returning clients, and enthusiastic art lovers who make this weekend so special. When you come to my studio, you do me an honour. You spend time to absorb these cultural musings, you engage in interesting discussions about the world, you renew old friendships..thank you, thank you.
So many moments which stood out this weekend
There was the young woman who was studying for her phd, who talked so passionately about her work with children, creating a bridge between science and art.
The crazy good conversation which touched on Keates, the value of handmade work in a digital age, and how art and poetry reach beyond words
The many great meetings with other artists, discussing process and comparing notes
The happy mood of the crowd, and the wonderful displays of my studio mates.
To all of you, a great big thank you, and see you next year at the crawl!
As for me..well it aint over yet. I still will be participating in several markets, and then I will start on my new series for next year. What will it be? I don't know yet!
