Lana, response to a plan
2 March 24

In short I would like to say that I cannot describe the importance of our correspondence to me. If there is something you have in mind in return for the help you may be given to me please say.

GENERALLY
That sentence in the end of paragraph was genius to me.

SHORT TERM
I will and I am staring to make archive of ALL my works.
I need advice. Do I get the professional photographer to take photos of everything I have, do I get them to scan somewhere or do I take photos by myself for now.
I started work on grouping everything, drawing, planning and thinking what my website should look like.
I like dampflat website.
I have been keeping notes of my thoughts and their development, but from now on I will have it as one of very important jobs of organising my work.

As I send responses to your ideas, it may be an idea for me to keep them on my server with access through my website. I am happy to make you a shell where you can keep digital information we can both look at. This would also allow you to maintain a website until you can get your own going.
I would love very much to agree for the above being suggested by you.

I am starting to understand the importance of writing my thoughts down and not only drawing them. It has been not easy as it is not my first language, but i feel I am getting there slowly. Because now I have You as a Listener and Advisor ( I hope very very much) I can see it this way: something comes to my head I will be writing it as an email to you. As before I never had anyone like you to talk to about my art it felt very lonely. I love this opportunity now, to write for shearing expressing and discussing even if that Idea will never comes to life, but spoken is better then never existed. I do have my Ukrainian friends I was studying together with, one in Ukraine one in Germany, but no one here in UK.

I have a few things going in my head in short term, I have to shape them first to be able to talk about it.

LONG TERM
I will have a good look at Insiders/Outsiders.

In the Long Term, I suggest you think about a project that reflects your experiences before the UK

I think I can have a project I can write about to the Arts Council of Wales. I can see it my mind. I will be working on it. I can’t see any collaboration but it may come along. I have never done any collaboration projects. To say honestly I want my projects to be strong on its own.
(I don't like to feel out-powering people:) )

Summary
Do you think I got the right impression of the help you offered to me?
Can I be sending you some spontaneous letters about thing that comes to my mind ?
Can I be asking for your advice any time? All art related.

I would love to mention something as well. I have never sold a one piece of my creative work. Only commissioned work. I do hope very much and this is one of my dreams to be able to make a living from Art. There is something behind this thought that I can’t explain now.
