back to school
by Kam Chan
wow. Been a long time since I’ve been here.
There is something about Autumn that renews me. That back to school feeling, sharpening my pencils and polishing my shoes, gives me an excitement and energy which hasn’t been here for a long time. A lot has been happening since the last time I visited here, about 2 years ago!
Four internships, an exhibition, curating, writing reviews, got a job, left that job, got another job… general life stuff.
Striking that artist in the real world balance is hard work and I applaud anyone who does this! I think I’m starting to get somewhere now. Working full-time was something that I thought would disrupt and make me feel like I couldn’t practice, but I find that I am more eager because what I do is not the slightest bit creative. and surprisingly I find I can actually work after I come home, and the regular hours mean I can actually plan things.
so, time to get that studio space sorted, time to send out proposals, time to make same work, yea!
also planning to do a Phd and using this blog for personally mapping during my Masters was really useful so seemed like a good idea to rejuvenate the process once more.
