Friday 27th
Interesting day.
Spend some of it with KG, fellow CIBAS creative champion. We sit, discuss, create and evolve ideas to-wards a collaborative project to do with her (fab) jewelery practice. (watch this space) Am able to help with some sound editing issues and software and maybe some illustration for her. We bounce ideas and am able to share about the 'new body' of work i am developing. This is a stripping back, an 'Unisolation', artists cant work in isolation, i used too, yet another life-lesson. Somehow and ironically these journeys always lead back to 'geological layering'.
I feel 'safe' connecting my ideas with a few select people now, K (and S) being one, i respect their feedback and honesty as stops you developing dead ends and from become 'insular' ( a polite way of saying 'up yourself!)and keeps you in check. This is like 'oxygen' to me, was self-taught to shy away from this contact, all connected to those imposed self-image issues that i continue to work through and wrestle with, but i find that this openness is the way forward. Exciting too as again you never know the way the work or collaborations will progress…..'need to breathe'
Drenched walking home…. ideas don't keep you dry
