As the artist in residence, it is my job to teach children and to make art. Problem is that by the time I am finished teaching the children I am so utterly exhausted that I cannot manage to make any of my own art. When I'd like to be making my own work is whenever I am teaching the children. Also, in the lovely town I now live in, there are no places to buy art supplies. People also don't buy art. So how am I going to prepare for a show when I:
A. Don't have anything to paint on
B. Don't have any place to buy a surface on which to work
C. Don't have money to buy any new materials because my work isn't selling
D. Don't have any energy to make work if I had something to work on.
E. Don't really have any ideas to make work if I had a canvas.
oh woe is me.
