If you were to give yourself a five-day art retreat, during which you had no other responsibilities, what would you do?
- Would you prefer to have a studio all to yourself, or be in a large group studio with a handful of other artists, but have your own designated space?
- Would you prefer working alongside a mentor in this group, or not?
- What would be your expectations in terms of your own work?
- Do you imagine focusing on one series, or creating a body of work for a show?
- Would you prefer to leave the goals open ended and just work?
- Is such a retreat possible at home or in your own studio?
- Is five days enough?
