Just Around the Corner

October 4, 2011

So here we are.  October.  It has been exactly 1 month and 3 days since I visited the gallery in Oxford.  Yesterday I emailed the gallery owner to set up a follow-up appointment.  I just heard back from him that he's free to meet this week.  And now my stomach is up in my throat and I'm feeling a bit pale.  I'm so nervous!  I wonder if I've done enough, if what I've done is any good.  I'm driving myself crazy.  I feel kind of like you do in the moments before taking a test - when you think, "maybe I should study a bit more."  But you realize that if you don't know the answers now, you never will.  Yet I keep making art.  Art that I keep thinking is probably rubbish.  I can't get a quote by James Rosenquist out of my head: "Art is the greatest risk of all because when you're making something, you're constantly asking yourself what the hell you're doing."  What am I doing?  There's a constant internal struggle raging inside of my head: I waver between feeling confident and incredibly stupid.  The meeting is set for Thursday morning.  By the time I leave I will know whether I will beI feel like throwing up.
