After a few hours in deep contemplation about what not to do I aired my musings with the head of course today.
It has been difficult to decide on a direction for this research. When I started rummaging through the world library that presented itself at the beginning of the course I got a bit distracted by the exciting discoveries I was making. But it was all a bit jovial and playful. Not that there is anything wrong with that but I must remember I am enrolled at an institute and I must follow a course of research that will stretch me upwards rather than outwards.
I will cut off those strands which only dilute what I am trying to communicate. I will enrich my skills. Become knowledgeable and articulate on current fine art practice and bring in skills from the past that have been lost. I will start at the beginning, a new phase in my work. Fresh, clear and focused. I’m here to learn, and that’s what I will do.
