i’m taking to review my january early as i have commitments with my two training courses from tomorrow until the end of the month.
this month has seen me walk back into quad in derby to visit their animation exhibition entitled “parts and labour : experiments in animation.” i went back to see the exhibtion as there was one in particular that excited me.
i also watched the series of three programmes by doctor james fox about the story of three cities in three exceptional years – cities whose artists and thinkers, writers and musicians set the world on a new course.
watching fox unpack the storey of things being done i started to wonder what holds me back in expressing things i feel or think about. i need to work on over coming the inner tension that manifests itself when i start to consider expressing something in some form.
my dabbling in the world of the photo society has been good to get me out of the house on a monday night. i’m not sure the one i’ve been visiting is going to be the one to join if at all i join any of them. i have enquired about visiting another and that is set up for february. i’m starting to make more time for myself to play and sketch things digitally in photoshop.
in january i’ve started to have glimmers of what my practice can be like. easing myself through the tension is something i need to be mindfull of and work at getting myself through it.
using the drum solo analogy for a moment, i’m still in the rehearsal studio deciding which song of the set will have the solo in.
