Working with other artists provides a certain solidarity. I’ve been planning and applying for funding with Lou Baker & Juliet Duckworth to get our socially engaged work out on tour. Socially engaged practice is quite challenging when not exhibiting as the work doesn’t have the same meaning without the interaction so it can get quite lonely persevering on your own.
Successful or not, the process of reviewing the pilot exhibitions we made last year in order to make a submission to Arts Council England has been a positive one to build the vision of what we want to do. We now have a logo, some policies, potential partnerships to deliver across the West of England and the passionate intent to get our work out there! Now we just have to wait 3 months until we find out.
