The quality of some of the donated postcards e.g. smudged work, wax crayon and naive appliqué, led to a discussion with Katie and Chloe about whether some should be left out. I felt strongly that everything should be included even though we wondered if more established artists would object to having their work shown alongside such a broad ability range. We also had several mass produced artists' postcards, signed by the artist, which didn't really fulfil the original work criteria.
We decided to include everything and I tried to address these issues in the gallery poster;
The exhibition includes work by professional and self-taught artists and we have been touched by the generosity of people wanting to support us on our creative path.
