“It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.” (Henry David Thoreau)Are you ready for MIFGS 2026? Is your entry in and your plinth weather proof?
Wrapping up Herring Island had its complications… we have yet to assign the voter’s prize because the first email drew a blank… back to random numbers and the big box of votes…. And a sculpture broke in transit to its new home so we had the soul searching of who owed what to whom…. In the end the broken sculpture remains the property of the artist - but it is all very sad. Packing and posting sculpture is a dangerous undertaking - could your item survive being dropped a metre? I’ve used Pack and Send in the past but for commission work where the customer paid - it works out to a considerable sum - but perhaps we need to value our own work more?
As we speak the new website draws ever closer. The committee has been testing - making fake purchases, sending emails through the system, making pretend donations and checking through our sculptor’s profiles - it is looking amazing - but you are fed up with being told how good it is going to be, right? Just do it, they cry!*
