So far so good. I was finding it hard to work on the project in bits and pieces. Now I have assigned myself a longer period of time to just concentrate on this, it flows easier. I'm working quickly, which may be detrimental to any ideas/ processes. In honesty mostly for fear of the deadline.
I am going to scan and digitise every single piece I make. I'd like to put them together on a website, as a digital archive. This could go towards the proposed exhibition, but is also an easier way to monitor it.
It would also be much easier to view the images on, than the clunkiness of an Issuu document.
- To engage in art privately felt like I was dismissing the very notion that art is communication, and in turn, constantly fed by the direct and indirect communication of others.
- Sometimes it can be fruitful to disengage with others creativity for a while, to not be held under influence of likes, compliments and trends.
- Learning to stop seeing a sketchbook as a product in its own right, and not just a collection of ideas and mistakes from different sources
- But in learning that, I engage it in it fleetingly, with little time for real development (skill wise)
- The images in the sketchbook become a note for later
- In my experimentation I would develop new visual languages and symbols, of which I would become reliant on again. It's a natural course... does being conscious and aware of it (and taking action on that) affect this project? But regardless, how can I not?
- I was never under the impression I would replicate the thought processes of an outsider artist, but truly, the way I react to image making is considerably different and much more tied up in ideas of form, composition and "good image" because that is what I'm trained to do. It's inescapable and affects it so much.
- Is it the repetition, my introspection, or the privacy that moves my project (most) along?
