Wobbly start to an arty day.

Today I started some volunteering as an invigilator with Open Empty Spaces on an art project called Kiosk. Created by artists Jeff Pigott and Julia Warin.

Kiosk

I had a lovely day chatting to and meeting various people, nosing around the art piece itself (there is a lot to take in!) and just generally people watching... a busy market place is a really good place for that!  There were a good amount of people interested in the work too which was brilliant to see and it was great to sit and listen to the Co-curator giving an interview with a BBC journalist! Exciting!

Cue a cheesy photo of one happy me :

I'm just lending a hand on a few days until the end of the month. But it is so nice to be back in touch with some arty happenings :) since stopping university earlier this year it's been a bit of a struggle to keep up with all things arty. Obviously I have more time on my hands so any opportunity to help out with and visit various exhibitions and projects is a awesome way to keep my head in the game and absorb all the goodness that comes with it. 

Although to be honest I didn't think I was going to get there... I woke up perfectly fine at 7:25 to my alarm but once I stood up out of bed I straight away felt really wobbly. As in my balance was all over the place. It's a horrible fuzzy feeling kind of like a hangover with absolutely no energy. I showered hoping I wouldn't fall over.. and had to prop myself up while sorting my hair. Bad times. But after some breakfast and a nice cup of green tea by the time I'd walked to the bus stop I felt much better :) Doesn't stop the constant nagging thoughts of what if? what if? WHAT IF!? Especially as I new I was going to be spending a lot of the day alone in a place I'm not particularly familiar with. But my day is almost complete with out any major hitches :D

Right time for an early night with an attempt at some reading :) I'll leave you with this quote that I found within the work.
