To make this artwork translate, i have decided to make a change to my original plan of having one black sheep, firstly i had to go back to the origination of the piece, the inability sometimes of being able to sleep/rest properly.. against your desire to.
I have managed to translate what it feels like to not be able to sleep because of such worrying questioning puzzled thoughts, where you keep coming back to the same questions and answers in your mind,sometimes you know the answers and more frustratingly sometimes you don’t ….. your thoughts go round in a whirl and keep you awake……….
To place one black sheep in amongst the white ones could lead to connotations of being the black sheep of a family group, the odd one out.., and this though apt was not what i was trying to convey.. There is often more than one thought, or someone else’s actions that disturbs your ability to rest at ease, so decision done, i had to make more than one black sheep for the artwork to be relevant.
This decision being made actually helped me realise that now i was content with the artwork and i felt it to be finished.. As i spoke earlier, of it being suggested that it was a a piece of work that maybe did not need to be finished,it has taken some time indeed to work out why it should be….
