One year on and I have to say “where did that year go?” It has been a whirlwind of a year.
Family has found me again and at times I think they wish I was back at Tech stressing over final show rather than checking on homework and tidiness of bedrooms.
Personally I have had a great year, the graduate show at Fingers Gallery, having work in Fingers Annual show and experimentation with new ideas along with meeting Mike Holmes again at Talkfest.
But still I feel I haven’t done enough. I think that will always be me though. The jewellery scene in Auckland is supportive and involved. and I feel great to be a small part of it. This year I have spoken to some of my heroes and found out they are approachable and full of encouragement. So what next? Handshake 2 is asking for participants and after some personal questions I am going to apply, so it will be an anxious time to sort my stuff out and await a response. But as I found out regarding GraduateMetal13, if you don’t have a go you will never know
Good on you, I shake your hand twice for that
Great work GirlfriendDynamoGirl xx
Most excellent, Mandy! Plug away… The first few years after exiting school are generally the toughest, in my opinion, to stick w/ ‘the routine’. You’re doing great – keep it up!!
