My intentions at the beginning of starting my final project were to create large melded images of my flesh – this was to identify a relationship with my subject in the hope of strengthening my paints language.
Since starting my project I have been less and less concerned with compositions and finished hangable paintings that overwhelm and consume with some unspeakable language but instead have focused on just DOING. Sometimes as an art student, I feel it is easy to get stuck on what shall I do? What is next? What is right? This can stop the ‘flow’ of things. So instead I have been working as an artist not a student. Experimenting and just doing. Not questioning, what? But just doing what my curiosity instructs.
So far this is leading me in (what seems at the moment) completely unstructured experimentation – This is good. How can I expect to develop my painting and allow my paint to come alive if I hold it back by constant structure ? At this point in my project the I feel the key is to simply keep painting and creating.
