Easter crit:
I presented some of my pieces in the seminar room to help me to visualize a bit what the degree show might look like.
Because I went through a lot of mental discussion whilst making the “bird”, I wasn’t feeling too confident about the work I was presenting, so didn’t feel I gained much from it.
People liked the chicken on the pillow on top of the plinth, also the “bird”. But they all agreed that they prefer work that I’ve made before, more colorful, more in your face. So where to go now…??
The “penis glasses” they were fun but is that all? we didn’t go much into what every object might mean to me, but do I really now myself?
Is it okay to panic at this stage? I’m not sure what I’m doing yet, specially when it comes to sculpture for degree show. Oh well everything will be okay. I think I’m worry about what to do next when I finish uni and that and the stress of having to plan and make still for show it makes me feel nervous.
I haven’t been shortlisted for the Bloomberg New Contemporaries, which is a real shame, but hey! it’s life. At least I don’t have to remake all the stuff I send them! Phewww… I have enough at the moment to do.
Doing the Sealife Centre project was cool and fun but a lot of my psychical energy went in there! I hope having done this will bring me a bit of work later on to maintain my practice.
I have also applied for a studentship award for the MA Fine Art at Brighton. They will pay the course, FT or PT, plus you get £9.500 as a stipend. They want to interview me, so we should see what happens! A lot of things up in the air.
