Chapter two of ‘Taking The LEAP Building a Career as a Visual Artist’ by Cay Lang was relatively long, yet a very interesting read, loaded with excellent advice and technical information. The author goes into detailed explanations on how to creating every aspect of an artist packet. The packet being the artist’s resource of presenting themselves and their work to galleries. The importance is explained of representing oneself in a professional manner with concise information and work displayed in a manner that is easy to access and aesthetically pleasing to those receiving and viewing it. It is pointed out that it is necessary to stand out from the hundreds of other submissions.
