An
'Artists Surgery' (ohh, ouch!) at Smiths Row, Bury St Edmunds faced me again with my lack of
courage. Talking through my work with Rosie, the delightful mentor, I
saw rather too clearly the elephant trap that I had fallen into the
past year. Oh dear, it is not always easy to be confronted by the
harsh reality even when the hand that offers the bitter pill of truth
is as soft and gentle as hers!
One
of the artists that Rosie mentioned was Susie Macmurray
I could see why when I researched her work as her use of repetitious
processes are similar to my own but she has evidently been a lot
braver than I.
So
it is back to the drawing board for me with a new determination to
keep pushing my work forward....fearless experimentation...

...well
experimentation, yes but there is always going to be faint-heartedness
and fear...
