I managed to get to Hester Berry on Tuesday which is fantastic and had a good chat with her, and my bucket for my sound pieces finally arrived even though it was delayed by a week as a result of the weather. Now I am waiting for Brian from NOBs to reply to my suggestions of days we could meet up and hope and pray that it will be soon, I fear it's cutting it a bit fine!
However, I think what I need to do is test the piece out with meat even though its not the aesthetic I am going for I think that I would rather not loose time and worry that the birds won't be available in time and if that happens I don't want to have done nothing.
It's difficult to round off a project in preparation for my presentation when although I definitely feel like I have completed 3 months worth of work at the same time I feel that a lot of that hard work is only just beginning to pay off and my understanding of how to get a space etc has only just triggered with me, and most importantly, the realisation of the kind of artist I am as well as the kind of artist I wish to be has finally been realised. I look forward to continuing with this project after the hand in date as I feel it can grow and develop in a very exciting way.
One of the things I have found the most difficult is having to rely on other people and working around them. I feel like if I had interviewed myself, owned a gallery and had gone out to shoot the birds myself a lot more would have been done, but of course arguably that in itself would dramatically change the work and also have problems of its own!
