Tasmania Residency

Now that I've finished my residency at the cottage I've just been dirfting around friends' houses in Launceston. I think it would have been too abrupt to go home straight after the residency; I feel like I need a bit more time in Tasmania to just travel around and live. I'm hoping that I can find some accommodation in Hobart for a few weeks and sort of set up to continue working with some of the things that I developed at Kings Bridge Cottage. I feel like I need a bit of a base to settle and have my art materials around. You have to be so organised with your possessions when you're a drifter. Perhaps I should shake off everything and just bundle a few pencils and apples into a handkerchief to tie around a stick.  I'm feeling like I want to be doing a bit more writing and drawing at the moment but I'm also really enjoying hanging out with people, talking and wandering. I feel like I'm collecting up more thoughts and experiences to stash away for a more quiet time. It's surprisingly refreshing to not know where you're going from day to day. I'm trying to keep my plans as flexible as possible at the moment and be open to new adventures and experiences. It's nice not having major ties to one place at the moment.
