My deadline for college is in just under 2 weeks, and as a result I have been spending my every waking moment* thinking about my work, and wondering why I still don't like it. I guess I just always want things to turn out better than they do- i'm pretty clumsy so working with porcelain and print is probably not the best idea ever- I should be making huge splodgy paintings, but instead I am creating porcelain doileys and wondering why it's never good enough.
My friends have told me to just sit back and enjoy the ride- I don't need this qualification, I already have a degree, and 4 years of curating behind me, but for some reason this course is more important to me than that degree. I know my work is good enough, but it's not the amazing wonderful genius work it is in my head. I know that largely this is down to the fact I just don't have the technical skills yet, but oooooh how frustrating that is for a perfectionist like me.
This post is just to say i'm probably not going to have time to read blogs, look at websites or wash my feet for the next two weeks. I'd love to be able to keep up with what you are all doing, but it seems I am about to take my first blogging break. Although knowing me and my penchant for procrastination I imagine i'll be updating like crazy and filling your inbox with comments.
