I finally finished my application for the
Massachusetts Grant for Creative Individuals. I had a really hard time writing the 1500-character artist narrative. Both getting started and getting it down to 1500 characters took a while.
And then I found it hard to capture video of web pages. Thanks, Linux.
The further I got into it, the more I realized I'm likely not the kind of artist they're looking for. Several times during the narrative, I had to watch out for sounding too much like a science explainer, which I am only a little bit. I also don't represent any culture or tradition. (And I do understand why they try to fund that kind of art.) Nor do I make the kind of thing that's meant to go in a museum.
Well, you gotta try, and so I have.
