I've never been particularly interested in exhibiting my work. To be honest, it feels a little uncomfortable. It's much easier and faster to share it here or on my social media pages. But I understand that every now and then, it's important to step outside that comfort zone and make those direct human-to-human connections.
Over the years, I've taken part in many group exhibitions by invitation, and I even organised a solo exhibition myself. Still, exhibiting has never really been my natural habitat.
Recently, though, I responded to an open call for artists, submitted a proposal, and was pleased to be selected with this piece – a drawing I made in 2020.
So, for a little while, the European birds will be on its little holiday and hanging on a different wall. And if someone buys it (I’m contemplating bringing the original), I might part with it for good.
If you'd like to hear more about the exhibition, I'll share the details in a few weeks.
