It is amazing how a little virus can affect us all. I have been lucky to get the opportunity to show my work in the Glue Factory group exhibition ‘Rabbit Skin’, absolute fun even if curating 60+ artists in a massive maze-like venue was a challenge. So was finding anti-bacterial hand wash (against spread of Covid-19), but we managed.

Have I learnt a lot this week!

Masonry drill is not enough, you need to master the walls too and the drill will move in any odd direction if you don’t treat it with respect. And it is possible to hang five paintings in five minutes, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Blu-tack and masking tape are fabulous to ensure that levels are right on the walls that are more reminiscent in texture to the bark of the oak tree than to a brick wall. Also, paper and wood do not like dampness.

The setting up, curating and hanging the Rabbit Glue exhibition in the great company of my very talented co-students and friends and our tutors from the Glasgow School of Art was fun.

All the lessons learnt were implemented, paper works taken away and replaced with paintings where possible, gin and tonic flowing and some 400 or more attendees at the opening night meant that the event was a great success.

I will be posting images from the event soon, please check my Work section for update.
