For today’s episode, Steph and I got together at the Old Butcher’s shop gallery here in Ballarat where my exhibition Autumnal Dreamscapes is currently happening. We recorded our very first live episode in front of what was meant to be a live audience.  As it turned out, the only people that turned up were Steph, myself, the gallery owner Julie and my mate Amie who helps me in the studio sometimes!  So as you can imagine, I kind of felt like crawling under a rock and hiding after.
But as I’ve learned many times over in this art game, the very moment you feel like you’ve failed and want to crawl under that rock is the very moment you need to own what has happened and share what has happened so you can feel less crap about it.  So if you ever thought that because I have this podcast and lots of Instagram followers I’m brimming with confidence and always succeeding, then I want you to know that sometimes I fail and feel like a complete loser!
I’m working really hard to keep this moment in perspective and remember all the other wonderful things that have come about as a result of this exhibition.  I’ve had so many lovely people come to visit during the exhibition and have had really strong sales, which has absolutely blown me away. So I guess, it all evens up in the wash.  And the conversation that I had with Steph about my journey in creating work for my first solo show is a really good one and I hope you enjoy it.
