back to the grindstone?

topic: ... or grinding it down.

A good week.

Measured merely but accepting what I am capable of, doing it, and avoiding the rest.

I started my third garment of my collection on monday after defeating an ever challenging visual studies week, and after a flash of a weekend (the word itself is ironic since I can no longer acknowledge an end to a means let alone a week) I was back to the drawing board. 

Back to step one - of garment three.

I have decided to embrace new beginnings and set challenges for their endings yet still the light burns dim, motivation but simmers.

The challenge for this week is belief.

Believe that no matter the result - the intention was true, the commitment steady and the drive sustainable.

Believe in myself, believe in my works quality.

Raising the bar to high?

Belief in garment three?

Lets wait and see . . .

Topic: running away from yourself.

VISUAL STUDIES: 30th May-3rd June 2011.

Copycat.

Shying away from me, and becoming someone else. 

 A relief.

I came out of this art week refreshed, enlightened and diverted.

We were given an assignment to study the work of an illustrator, work we might never have encounter, a person we will never know, and recreate ourselves.

By finding inspiration in techniques that didn’t belong to me and methods I was scared to embody I have been again inspired by creation, art and design, an inspiration I had temporarily misplaced. 

Meet - Nice Lopes 

Meet - Ashleigh Dugdale

Redirected?

Lets wait and see . . .

looking back.

Topic: strike 2

Don’t change what’s done, correct what is yet to be created.

Tried that.

The second garment of my ‘graduate collection’ has been submitted, submitted to what?

A finalization really,

What’s done,  is done.

Yet still I feel disheartened, unconvinced, and somewhat wronged but what I have created.  They say your collection is a reflection of you, a portrayal of my ability, but how can I affectively express myself if I’m yet to be swayed by my own doing?

A predicament.

Two down and seven to go, a predicament is not in the line up.

So I hold my breathe and await my mark, a mark that wont change my mind but that I hope will clear my perceptions.

In the mean time I start number three, garment number three, chance number three.  I do this with a clear vision, a determined intention and a expectancy to be satisfied.

Don’t change what’s done, correct what is yet to be created.

I will.

Ashhhhhhh
