A day of results.
My application to Axis has been accepted, excellent.
I also got in to the Margaret Harvey Open, good.
Also, I've started testing my phototransfers on linen, and reminded how I love working with physical things, unlike computers, where everything seems unreal. I feel like I'm Doing, however, there are two bad habits that have tended to surface.
The first is that by simply doing, I am making good work because the toil is there. DANGER!
The second is that being surrounded by artists materials is that I start buying into the persona of the Artist, and get carried away imagining my virtual smock and beret….'look at me I'm an ARTIST!' oooh look at all my lovely paints and brushes. This is similar to a feeling I sometimes get when doing practical work….'look at me….I'm DRILLING!' etc. Not good, ego derived.
Both these things disrupt and can hijack the creative process in a bad way.
