10.01.2022 Updating my notes on a book I read recently called Creativity Crisis by Robert Nelson. It was recommended to me in my thesis feedback. Interesting read. Here is my Chapter 1 summary.
10.01.2022 I spent time in AGSA (Art Gallery of South Australia) today. Final presentation is coming up, so trying to get my head in the game. #visualartresearch
10.01.2022 I know this is a leadership piece, but it is where I find my head at the moment. I am asking myself ... 1. What am I really trying to accomplish here? 2. Take time to reflect and consider. 3. Does this really matter? https://eblingroup.com/blog/be-effective-or-be-right/
08.01.2022 Continuing with my research on all things Winton. Using the artist journal/book idea from my workshop with Suzanne Archer. Lots of these are sourced from a trip I took out to Lark Quarry but some are from just walking around the place.
07.01.2022 I walked away from the workshop not sure what I'd gained. I drove the three hours home to have a session with my visual art mentor. Then at 2am a concept Id been toying with fell into place. I'm not sure what it will look like, but it is far stronger than it has been. So now Im going to follow my process through and see where I end up!
07.01.2022 The narrative .... so important.
06.01.2022 Found some time to begin working on a theme Ive had running through my head for a while now. Some successes and some failures ... nice to have found the time regardless.Working with some unsuccessful reduction techniques and some somewhat successful chalk pastel drawings.
04.01.2022 Culling! Culling! Culling! Looking at the finish line!Culling! Culling! Culling! Looking at the finish line!
03.01.2022 Proportions are a little better I think.
03.01.2022 How is this personal? Personal connections to public events. Social engagement??
03.01.2022 David Fairbairn is screaming in my head .... composition, composition, composition! I know its lacking in this piece I literally put together in half an hour.
02.01.2022 Social relevance is so important to my practice ... what is the purpose of the work .... what is it trying to say... what am I thinking through ... why has it been made?
01.01.2022 Time for a dinner break. Still a lot to work around, and a long way to go. But, the subject deserves that I consider the life it lived, the loss that occured and the sadness all round.
01.01.2022 Made a start to researching Winton, finally. Using the artist book concept from the 5 day workshop run by Suzanne Archer in Mittagong.
