Just as I was talking about the notion of rejecting everything, while on a much needed break in the forests of Suffolk, I actually had the time to read a newspaper, in which Tracy Emin's column was discussing exactly the same notion. So there you go, obviously I know what I'm talking about (lol)!
Seriously, there's reason enough for everything, and although it took me a few days to handle my rejection from a recent exhibition submission, I'm back on the case writing new sound pieces. I seem to respond best when there's a dialogue with others involved. So recently collaborating with Ian, we bounce back changes to the pieces via the web, for Jack to respond to. This was of working, I feel currently, produces my best and gets me critically working better.
I have also recently realised I have to stop taking on more (unrelated) time-consuming projects. They are just diversionary avoidance tactics, and there's nothing like facing yourself head on to get to the bottom of things. Hope this is not sounding too woolly. I feel I'm understanding my practice gradually more and more.
