I have realised that I need to set myself an agenda for my days in uni if I am going to achieve anything. I need to organise myself better. Perhaps giving myself a script to follow, or timing myself would help?
It had been my intention and it still is my intention to set up an interface between drawing and ceramic materials and surfaces. I didn’t realise how important the drawings were going to become to me. They’re entities in their own right now, they have a certain independence, which has surprised me. Perhaps a continuing translation and retranslation of different materials will make me more informed of my visual language and how I choose to express it.
I need to carry on being explorative with materials and not rush into final outcomes before I even begin to investigate the potential of the materials that I’m working with. After my group tutorial I realised that my work in clay needed to express more of the qualities that I had achieved through my drawings and work on paper. I need to be more conscious of why I am choosing different materials.
