The first meeting


27th April 2010 - the first meeting with Ben in my studio at Wysing Arts Centre near Cambridge.

Spent most of the time looking through my work in the studio, talking about some pieces in more detail and then walking round the site - Wysing has eleven acres and today was sunny and warm, perfect to see works by a range of artists that are dotted around the site.

I was left with a lot to think about and several ideas to take forward in my practice in readiness for our next meeting in June. The overriding message that I have taken is to extend pieces past initial outcomes or research so that a work achieves a depth beyond the immediate.
