Have been thinking and making things in the past ten days, even though I haven’t posted anything on here… Actually have made a sort of cube form out of cardboard and am in the process of wrapping all the different bits in woolen thread, I’m pretty excited about it!
By the weekend I will post some new images, I promise. Have been feeling really angry over the past few days about the way I’ve let my artistic activities slide over the past few years, and even in art school I didn’t get to the level of achievement or passion that I hoped to. It would be great as time goes on and I make more things and develop more respect for myself and for my practice that I will write excitedly about art and theory and writing on these posts, rather than writing about not doing enough of these things and about being afraid. But we’ll see…
On another note, I also made a website for a musician friend. Even doing that felt somewhat creative so I think I’m beginning to get on the right track! It took about a day to do, so now I’m motivated to make my online portfolio look a bit more professional and beautiful! Will post the link when I get that done and updated. I think taking care of my portfolio (this is for writing as well as art), updating it regularly and making sure that people know about it is part of this process of gaining more respect for myself and for my artistic practice.
OK… next post will be less whiney!
