'if you approach things with a sense of humor, people immediately assume you're not to be taken seriously. but I think truths about society and human existence can be approached in different ways. you don't always have to be deadly serious. sarcasm and humor can help you see things in a lighter vein.'

i've had access to some internal space to explore the development of my work. it's been exciting having a controlled environment with electrical power and warmth.
crits tomorrow(monday), i'm showing a little film and will be discussing afterwards.
i'm experiencing a time where i need to keep my head down as there are things to do that i've worked out for myself to do.
must be time for tea.
i think i'm making a steady progress. the treacle is still around my legs,
i have somehow learnt to move smootherly,
to move a little quicker through it.
there are annoyances around me too. most are more petty than others, some are down rite rude and advice has been sought for those.
next week begins with tutorial and moves onto cultural research visit.
journals are starting to solidify into what they are, work made has migrated onto a research dvd.
it's only as bad as you allow yourself to believe it is.
and i've got jammy dodgers with my tea.
into march…
or maybe a brisk walk. either way my sails were deflated to find out about a missed tutorial today, it's happened before, something connected with the notice going up on the day of the tutorial. still not sure how i managed to miss it.
my practice is forming into a new media practice. having read about the beginnings of video art, i can safely say i use digital video within my new media practice. more reading required into new media.
february was painful, connectivity with or lack of, the sun being the culprit. walks in parks in sun bring out the spark again.
been making a few sketches. that was the advise, to keep making, when it all felt pooey and unpleasent. i kept making, it seems to have got me through a trying month.
we've had our fundraisier, maybe we;ll get to do one for us now. it is in our hands, it would have to be just one night though, no festival planning this close to completion.
off with a skip and hop, time for tea and jammy dodgers…
