I’ve spent the day writing a piece for the 2011 Degrees publication. In truth most of the time was spent deleting as I had 600 words to describe the last ten years of my career.
Right now I’m watching Rocky III, the one against the Russian who has all the latest high tech machines and Rocky has well a field in the snow.
It’s all very man against machine, It’s the big struugle. How can you not love Rocky? Doing it all from nothing – just will power. I want to be the art version Rocky. I have no money, no materials but I’m going to make it using what I can find I will fight the machine that is capitalism. With Marx talking to me through the medium of free mp3’s and my own bare hands and body I can make art. It’s so romantic :)
As well as the field Rocky has Adrian and Uncle Paul. I have AUCB and a network of artists and friends throughout the UK and beyond who are behind me. I feel so blessed today. I think it was writing about the development of my career and thinking about all the people who have given me a chance along the way. I want to do more to help out those with less experience than me. Especially now facing the money making machine that is living.
