Artwork Assembly

I'm amazed that it's taken me a full day to assemble/frame 'Beware Of The God' and 'You Either Believe In AI Or You Don't'. The former needed glass and a mount, and both needed photography, which is the bigger part of the job for these 2.5D artworks.

All of this took until 4pm, then time to enter two competitions, with the usual hassle. Competitions in days past which were entered and judged in person were far easier to enter, and fairer. The Discerning Eye is particularly troublesome to enter, with errors on the website every year, and 2024 was no exception (I'm still unsure if I have entered - there's an idiotic 'required' question about regional delivery which refuses to accept. Idiotic because the regional delivery dates or locations are not shown anywhere so nobody could make use of them if they wanted, yet this insistent question stops final submission of the entry). Technical issues aside, The Discerning Eye is an exhibition I like in philosophy and effect.
