University is now back in full swing. Or at least it should be… theres been a problem with the ventilation in our casting workshops. Which has put my work on hold, in a big way. But being a 'multi-media' Artist, i just feel encouraged to use different mediums until the workshops are open again.
We were given this week to decide and build our individual working areas over two studios, the third has been allocated to the first years drawing workshops, which they will use for space afterwards. Im extremely happy with my space this year, the studio im in has an installation room connected. And yes, ive already put my name down, i have the room from 06/10/08 until 10/10/08. Have a plan for a semi performance – semi installation piece.
I was meant to hand in a statement of intent yesturday, i havent been able to create one yet. The medication im having to take at the moment is an emotion blocker, which is not ideal. Ive stopped taking them for a few days before my performance to hopefully get a more emotional / human final product. I have the research, planning, concept and development all in place for the work…. but emotionally and mentally im unsure about whether or not i am going in the 'right' direction. A constant struggle i have is my art's worthyness.
Maybe i need to force myself into being a cocky and strong willed Artist. Or just create and let the masses decide.
