My day has been like this: 6 hours bent over a sheet of paper, pin in hand and 4 hours standing on a chair, on a table, trying to suspend said paper in a way that I’m happy with. I finally broke my three weeks of not working, a happy day!
Although burning took over my practice last year, it just isn’t relevant anymore. The subtle pin prick is much more suited, and although I initially worried that it “had been done before” (a comment from an artist tutorial in year one) I just don’t care anymore. I think I’m finally getting to the stage where my work is for me, and not for the tutors or my peers.
