Its hard to believe that over a week has passed since my assessment!
I spent the week after the exhibition at Curve preparing for it. I gathered all the paper work, documentation and communication, along with relevant blog posts into an A4 file. I also ordered a hard back book documenting the development of my work and the exhibitions, however even although it was ordered a week in advance for next day delivery it took two weeks to arrive, so I have only just got it now. I must admit, I was most disappointed with this, as the book looked so professional and I felt that I would have presented the work and exhibitions better. Instead I made a copy of the book onto A4 paper. It didn't look anywhere near as professional, and it was pixelated (I assume the company does this to discourage people for making books and not paying).
Buuut you can see this book at...

To illustrate the development of my paintings I made a short animation, with a short film of my studio/ garage at the beginning.
(still to be uploaded)
I was initially quite nervous about having to talk for 20 mins about my work, but when it actually came to it I actually really enjoyed it. And I probably would have stayed a bit longer if I could. I think this year has really pushed me personally and artistically, and that I have learnt alot about working with galleries.
I feel so happy working in this kind of environment now, and I hope that after LJMU I will continue to keep this up.
