Slack Week
After the Art Trail I had a very productive week and currently have approx 10 photos that I am actively working on. They are lying around my studio or pinned up on the wall.Some of them are nearly finished. When they reach that stage I like to pin them on the wall and give them a few days to see if any final ideas develop. So I have 6 photographs pinned to the wall awaiting final confirmation or inspiration. The other 4 are lying on the floor, they have written development notes doodled across them and are waiting to be picked up and tweaked. I have used this way of working for the last couple of years. However with the move from spare bedroom to studio means that I no longer have to tidy away when we have visitors. The downside is that they can lay on the floor or pinned on the wall for quite a long time.
Especially when I have a week like this week.
This week has been a week of procrastination, internet browsing and general lack of inspiration and creativity. I keep looking at the pictures in development and there is no urge or insight to take them to the next stage or get them finished. It is probably a reaction to all the creative and development energy that I had around getting ready for the Art Trail. I have always worked better with a deadline looming. The next deadline is my exhibition in January. I have about half of what I need ready and with two and a half months to go, there is a bit of time before the adrenaline kicks in.
So back to the internet………..
