There are only about four months left before the final show. I have a great deal to do and therefore need to organise myself so that I can fully concentrate on making and preparations. Now that the blog site is sorted after its difficulties, I am clearing the decks to complete the work.
Yesterday and today I began reorganising the studio and clearing surfaces for working. It is a long and painstaking process as many months of work has to be stored elsewhere with great care.
Piece 1. Piece 2 can be worked on simultaneously on another table and I can begin piece 3 concurrently.
Below is a list of things to do. It is by no means exhaustive but it gives me a framework around which to plan activities. As for a timetable, I feel that the best timetable is to work as hard and do as much as possible well in advance. I hope to have pieces 1 and 2 completed by mid-April. Piece three completed by mid-May and any collateral works at the same time. I am aware not to disperse my focus on too many things.
I have titles for 1 and 2 but not three as yet
