Still needing to write my statement of intent! Its difficult trying to collection all these delicate ideas and place them into a such a solid form. words. Words, for me, get in the way sometimes. But as an Artist, you need to be able to promote, describe, explain and discuss your own and others art.
After a tutorial with Katrin Webster, Craig Wood and Harold Hope (on separate occasions) i came to the conclusion that i am changing, my experiences and personality are developing, rather noticeably. My work has always had an emotional struggle, a dark tint. I feel that i have a formula that works. I dont feel that im struggling anymore, i feel change, a flow, movement, life and a love for it.
Utopia, a non-place of perfection. Ive been researching, researching…. and guess what… researching! But i enjoy the process, the avenues to explore, or at least be aware of. I feel its a necessity. However, the skill is knowing where to stop thinking and start doing. If i over think an idea sometimes i feel the physical work doesnt give justice to the theory that goes along side. For me , Art shouldnt be made for the theory, Art is my personal expression of my views, the theory is there to help me express myself successfully to the masses. Or at least thats what im hoping.
Next week is put aside for me to collect my materials, im going out into the Welsh landscape to collect coal… (fingers crossed that there is some left)
Ive included images from Video Projections i exhibited (in university) last week.
