I feel like I am walking on cracking eggshells. Every misstep will be the doom of my art career. Recently I ran into a situation where a woman totally trashed my unfinished sculpture in front of an artwalk tour. She told them it was finished and wouldn’t let them near my finished sculpture despite the protests of one of the attendees. He tried to guide everyone towards my finished piece but she wouldn’t have it and whisked everybody out of there with no time time to spare. The only reason the unfinished piece was there was so I could do a sculpting demo during the reception later that evening. So, yes, she did the tour before the show was even started! I know the onus is on her and that I had an advocate but I feel like it is too late to undo the damage. Now I can’t do any artwork and I am really behind on my projects. Things are going from bad to worse in the meantime. Nothing works to get me to focus on what I need to do now. I am already making plans to move out of town and start over.
