Blog effect
Writing and thinking about this blog has given me new energy and a liberating sense of potential. My art practice feels a bit ropey at the moment, so I’m hoping to address that too …soon maybe. But I’m in a list mood, so here’s a list of all the good things about doing a project blog:
Feels like I’m part of the art universe.
Keeps me thinking critically.
Reading other blogs opens me up to new ways.
A good excuse to see shows – when I have endless job applications to do.
I’m more purposeful when I go to shows – and feel more confident talking about ideas I’m interested in. Finding my voice and writing style.
Evidence that I’m still an artist – even though I’m not making significant work at the moment.
Feels good to have a space in my life that is open and exploratory – no planned endpoint or direction. Doing something just because I want to do it.
