My car has no brakes – metaphorically speaking of course. A month left to make work and I have embarked on three new strands of work, exploring new materials and processes. Yeah it feesl a bit crazy at this late stage to be making new explorations but take away the time frame and it feels like the most natural step to make. I’m moving my work on, unearthing new possibilities.
But I have to say that this morning as I pondered the work I’ve been making this week I did wonder if I was doing the right thing getting entangled in new ideas – hence the reference to having no brakes! Anxiety and paranoia are creeping in.. then …. I sat down and begun to read the a-n news and blogs pages and I feel inspired, re-assured and settled with my self again. There are so many dedicated artists making work that is true to themselves and exciting that I can’t help but feel re-affirmed . Checking in at a-n is a little like taking a paracetamol for a pain – that nagging feeling of unease has disappeared! All is well, just keep moving along.
