The kaleidoscope has been preliminarily accepted for the 159th RWA Open Exhibition. J and her son A helped me load it in to the car on Friday night. J borrowed a sack truck from her cousin L. M and her husband B met me in Bristol on Saturday morning to unload it, wheel it in to the RWA, take it up in the lift, unpack and install it. Thankyou everybody! M has had two pieces preliminarily accepted too. At this very moment our work is sitting in the same building as work by Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin and Louise Bourgeois, being looked at by the RWA panel of Academicians, Goldfrapp composer and musician Will Gregory and writer, curator and art critic Nicholas Underwood. I'm going to regret all that smug name dropping if I get an email on Wednesday saying "please come and collect the giant kaleidoscope because now we've had a proper look at it we don't want it." Watch this space....
