Not Consumers But Wavers

Maybe the realisation from the previous post is a product of where we are at the moment with the world in shutdown due to the virus. I should maybe care that i’m just shut away in my studio, my brand new studio and exhibition space which I was feeling my way towards what I wanted from it. It has been suspended. But I find that most of the time I don’t really care. I’m just here alone making stuff and putting it in the window. People go past and have a look in and some of them smile at me and give me a wee wave and others look haughtily at my work for a moment and see me but ignore me then walk on again. They are consumers and I don’t really care about them. I care about the wavers. When we get back to having more public space again it will be the wavers I’ll welcome in. Perhaps that should be the title of this post - Not Consumers but Wavers.
