There was letter today from the Arts Council. There was a nice quantum physics mind experiment moment before I opened it. In those few seconds, two realities co-existed: that the letter was saying I'd been successful in my application for Arts Council money to make my exhibition, that the letter was saying I'd been unsuccessful. I'm glad to report it was the former. Schrödinger's cat lives!
And so, planning the shots, purchasing equipment, hiring models, location scouting and all the rest of it will now begin in earnest. It is very interesting how one of the art outcomes of the idea is already making itself heard: that is how will the photography project inform the writing of the novel, and vice versa. The green light from the Arts Council has spurred me on to write, given me an injection of confidence. And that in turn is giving me fresh ideas for the photographs. The upward positive spiral is a terrific experience.
