art-work-sport (2) + studio meeting

I've just got back from another circuit training session, my dad said that it looked like it was hard work for me. Thanks dad.

This evenings thoughts:

• pat pat pat - the sound of pacing feet on the gym floor (like marching?)
• pace and rhythm - how this changes over time
• moving forward as a line, as we run the "shuttles" across the length of the sports hall (this made me think of some Hamish Fulton walks that i participated in a few weeks ago)
• collective - working together, collective energy
• achievement
• medal - to award achievement, war medals / sports medals, styling, colour etc

I think that i need to expand my experience of these tiring and rhythmic activities, i can sense a session in front of a Davina McCall fitness dvd ahead of me.

Yesterday the Norwich based members of the group met at Helen and Tim's studio at Outpost Studios (i have complete studio envy now, it was so warm!). We went over our funding applications, its all do-able, especially between us but will require a lot of focus and forward planning. It was nice to see the other artists, in a slightly more informal setting - we always progress a lot when we are together.

Juliet - im very excited to see your commissioned Gainsborough, brilliant idea, and how exciting to get it in the post!
