I didn’t…

have studio space today so worked at home. Office and book keeping stuff, not so exciting but good to do. I’ll go to studio tomorrow morning with all my stuff; it’s hilarious how much I have things to take to studio! Whether it’s milk cartons, clothes or like now, cosmetics, it feels I soon need a truck to move around. I’m working in this really beautiful studio that is located in a kind of service centre for elderly people. I feel quite comfortable and cosy in there in the midst of all the old people and grannies. It’s also funny how they every now and then pop into the studio and there am I, a ton of cosmetic boxes and packages around me, putting some aroma therapy oil on my skin…and they might say: Good day! Do you have children?
I should get going more actively with the ideas of sound, costume and images. But somehow I’m not ready yet.
The weather has now changed completely and it’s freezing. I’m so happy ANTI is not going on now. Today was so cold with an icy breeze but also incredibly beautiful and bright.
I met with Niila the other day and complained about the function of the arts council. He pretty much agreed to what I said but didn’t really give any hope that things would change, not with the current members anyway. But it was good to be talking and I guess sharing my concerns and thoughts.

Hope you are well,
Johanna
