dear blog
it’s been 9 days since my last entry; please forgive me for i have been with thought and some other stuff that is as yet not understood.
i have spent time listening to module outlines and learning outcomes. they are the last set of these i will have to listen to for a while as as yet doing an ma is not on the horizon, maybe blue sky thinking will develop a horizon once the present course is completed.
coming down after the written assignment completion is complete, i think. were there several exchanges with other students on this blog structure involving unhappiness and discontentment? if there was, the passing of difficult assignments has returned me (us?) to a comfortable place and so any on-going complaints or expression of disappointment are now not necessary. phew: a quo.
in my studio practice work in new media, the on-going need to develop ‘what it is’ so i can sell myself in the pre-ordained manner necessary to ‘get on’ looms headily large and very close to me. it’s presence slightly over whelming me. a chance discussion with the senior lecturer yesterday helping a little to scale down the problem.
the problem being that of moving onto another piece of making. the notion of finally resolving the first thing to move to the next. the thoughts about the exhibition of work in the summer, that thing they call the degree show. that thing which is the culmination of three years work, publicly that is, in real terms the display of the most critically successful work, as outlined by the module. what will it be like nearer to when the proposal for the exhibition is required? i don’t know, time to wait and see.
the advice given to me to get through my doubt and torn feeling is to make, to make and to make.
and on that note. i’m going to make a cup of tea.
much love
