The week started well. I found some direction with my work and now feel as if I know where I am going. It was good to take a step back and read through my blog and my sketchbooks to find where I’d gone wrong and confused myself. I’m putting the plastic away for a bit as it’s not the way I want to work, and feels all too cold. I’ve been spending the week painting and drawing, not because I feel safe in doing so, but because that is where my work has taken me. I’m letting each piece of work I’ve done recently to inform the others, and have been making models of parts of these drawings and paintings. I think these things could become something on their own, and could get quite delicate.
It goes back to what I was doing a few months ago, with the box the I built and allowed to fall apart, and from this produced a series of drawings. I am following this idea further as I think the idea of building something and letting it fall apart has the potential to say many things and lead me in any direction. And that’s what I want, my work to lead me.
