Post for week 13:
This past week I spent a bit more time sketching (3 hours) but more so I focused on constructing my practice presentation (5 hours) that I presented on Thursday. The presentation part went really well and I have only a few changes to make plus a few things to add for the actual presentation which will be giving December 14. However, with that part in a good state for now, I am lacking on the process. Running into a bit of a mind block, I am considering redirecting my project goal. I am not totally sure what is "exciting" me about my project anymore and feel like I am hitting a wall. I think the only way to get around this is to start making... which is precisely what Janie and Seth highly recommend I do. Therefore, this weekend will be full of making and experimenting. I need to just make for the sake of making, without a specific focus or concept. I just need to make something that will allow me to find that "excitement" again, and if it veers me in a new direction, then so be it. I will only discover what I like and dislike like by trying....
Sounds good to me. I can't wait to see what you've been doing. That brainstorm on the last post was great! No matter what you make right now is going to have a connection- because that's what's been marinating in your mind. I agree- don't think about that connection too much (maybe it's stifling?) and see what comes of creative expression and making. You're in the studio tomorrow- let's meet!
