Got to keep going

Been working today and I’m exhausted so just going to plod on with the inner beauty stuff tonight with my feet up! Started working on statement and artist talk at the same time. But my head is mush so I’ve only got a few notes. I’ll try again tomorrow. I only really want to give a talk if it’s going to interest people. Also obviously there would be overlapping with the statement and the talk but I don’t want to be too repetitive as they could just read it in the statement. It’s only worth saying something if I’ve got something interesting and different to say! It makes me think that a short and to the point statement is better after all. I’m thinking of talking about what led me to make the work more than talking about the work itself. Maybe I could talk about what I do in general as an opening.
