you’ve got a serious deadline. people may or may not show. you’re completely stressed out. you hopefully get your pieces done in time and throw it up on the wall. catch your breath, gulp some wine. . and here come the people. They want you to tell them about your work. You’ve just spent months. . maybe years with these pieces and now you’ve gotta justify their existance.
Honestly, i find the whole process exhausting. . .kinda like a wedding. . lots of work, high expectations, lots of people that you want to spend time talking to – but there’s just too many. Bless ‘em, they came to support you and seem genuinely interested in your work, but. ..
you know what i think it is? It’s just a little too much about the artist and less about the work on the walls. When my work’s up I want it to speak for its self. Or maybe i only want it to speak to me.
