Exquisite corpses

Burning my bridges before I cross them

According to the conditions of entry for the Wallace Award: 'Artists are encouraged to include supporting material in writing that ... explains how they would benefit from the experience of an overseas residency.'

This is what I've put:

I must admit I struggle with this. I do not believe I am particularly special or out of the ordinary. The benefits that I would get from an overseas residency are, I imagine, much the same as the benefits any artist would get, except perhaps that, as I travelled extensively around NZ instead of going on the traditional OE, I have not yet visited any international art galleries or museums.

For the bit about the work, I just pretty much reproduced what I said in the previous post about where the title comes from.

Ha ha

I've sussed out what my entry will be. Funnily enough, it's a variation on the six-panel thing I was working on and abandoned, but using canvases that worked instead of the ones that didn't. I call it Signs of a doomed civilisation.

I've used Blogger's upload pic function again. Click on the sucker to see a slightly bigger version.

Time to freak out

A friend of mine reminded me today that Wallace Award entries need to be in by Thursday. I'm not sure what I'll put in, but will try to suss it out this evening.
