I spent a very pleasant day stewarding my exhibition. There was a steady stream of visitors: friends and strangers, young and old.
At one point this morning I noticed three young boys peering in through the windows - they must have been 10 or 11. They then put heads round the door and said that they had come to look at the art. It was wonderful to engage with them and answer their questions. I was asked what kind of artist I was and, to make them think, I turned the question round and asked them what they thought. One boy considered this and said, quite emphatically, 'Cubist'. 'Why?' I asked. 'Because you have a lot of lines and squares'. Just wonderful.
On leaving, they thanked me very politely and said that they didn't realise that art could be made with textile and stitches. I think they liked my work.
