The Physical Existence of Emotions

Over the weekend I spent much of my time planning. Anyone that know me will tell you how I feel the need to exercise control of the unknown. I struggle a lot with freeing my mind of structure and organisation which can certainly pose as a difficulty when trying to create work without an outcome in mind. Frankly, I find the whole blank canvas concept overwhelming and find myself relying on lists, diagrams and various squiggles that depict a distinct desperation for control. Rather than spending the weekend working directly into my sketchbooks this weekend has been devoted to careful placement of attractive post-it notes structuring the whole of my sketchbooks so that they flow in a way that I need them too. What I find strange is that I am forever jotting things down or quickly sketching out ideas, yet when it comes to my sketchbook I struggle at making a mark if it has not yet been reconsidered. Tomorrow I plan on spending my time editing all of my images and going through ensuring I have all the images I need to progress to the next section of my planned timeline, which of course has had much time spent ensuring everything has a timescale.
