Well, the show is over, I didn’t win but I wasn’t expecting to! (with over 1000 pieces entered the competition was fierce!) the level of artwork was quite varied actually, some were very good and some were very bad (the dove soap bars glued to a canvas come to mind…) it wasn’t at all like I expected but it was a really interesting experience and well worth participating in.
I am a little disappointed in that I was hoping for some constructive feedback on my pieces (apart from some of the staff saying that they were beautiful!) but ah well. It was quite like the affordable art show in a way, and I have learned heaps from the experience. I have some ways forward now in my career and I am very excited to see where it will lead me!
