Well, best laid plans….
It’s weird how when I’ve done such a lot of thinking and writing it is really difficult to get started or continue with an idea. I know I need to keep up the momentum and follow through, reflect and make work yet it is so hard once I’ve been away from making for a time
I feel that there are some questions and interests arising though not a true reflection of what I really want to say. I’m being cautious when perhaps I should be going wild and filling the space with ‘mutant enunciations’ (Estelle Barrett- Kristeva Reframed). This could be caused by the smallness of my working space so I’ve been considering ways of producing multiples that will allow me to fill a space and realise my ideas more quickly
In my recent explorations in space, balance and line are something that continually crops up and as I reflect on my former jewellery practice I can see them there too. I wonder why I didn’t notice them then?
Though I’ve been critical of the theory that takes me away from making I am insatiably curious and currently reading ‘The Contingent Object of Contemporary Art’ Martha Buskirk
So I best finish this post and find a way to get back to making…
