Decisions February 7th
Since graduating in June 2013 I have felt compelled to rush about in small circles planning what to do next. The need to ‘network’ ‘exhibit’ ‘develop my work further’. All these things seemed to matter. I felt I had to move on and to capitalise on things I had learnt over the past two years.
But slowly, the realisation that this was completely wrong, has dawned. It’s not possible to force things to happen on a creative level. My art will evolve and develop if I just take a step back and approach it calmly. That’s what I plan to do. I want to return to enjoying painting and not to put myself under pressure to achieve for a while.
