I don’t think I’ve felt so nervous presenting new work for some time. The current sensing is pretty okay, from the people that I’ve showed my work to. It’s a whole range of things actually, but the ideas running in my mind are a lot more personal. It feels like I’m a lot more exposed, and I’m trying a lot more than I used to.
It’s also another set of things to keep thinking about my work work in Through The Roof. I’ve got incomplete work there, and I don’t really have a good idea of what to finish it with. But the coordinating is by far the most challenging, because it takes so many people to put it together.
I think in my head, I’ve been comparing across the different artists and the different booth types across the scene. It feels like I’m not the same, even though I know it would probably end up looking very much the same. It doesn’t equate to confidence. The feeling of producing work that is uncommon makes me unsure if the people around me would feel the same way about the work. Or that it would be well received. It doesn’t have to be right?
I don’t know, perhaps doing tables and presenting work this way makes me think a little too much about my work, and maybe I should just do the work, and get someone to manage my booths as a whole. Perhaps that would work in my favour.
