Quick check in, it's a while, hasn't it?
Like most people, the ongoing Covid on again/off again lockdown measures have taken a toll. I have only seen two people socially since March, and one of those was a meeting to compare notes on dealing with a part time return to University. Much needed and a good time, but hardly the drink and drug fueled bacchanalia I am (allegedly) used to.
Still. Here we are now, with the dawning of a new year of Official Art Practice ahead of me. I am, as ever uncertain of my practice or how I'm going to make it with effectively no studio and no peers on a day to day basis. I suppose, I just need to start and see what transpires.
That start will happen on Friday, my first three hours in a studio, and assuming it is remembered I am there, my first work based conversation with the tutors. Hopefully the first step on a path will present itself.
More interestingly, the possibility of doing the weekly critical reflection as something other than a written piece has been floated. I am considering options, and at some point want to try and vlog the reflection. I've been tying with the idea of getting some video work done, and this seems like a fine chance to experiment there. I just need to deal with my self esteem and body dysmorphic issues and it's plain sailing.
That'll do for now. I'll try and check in again on Friday or Saturday, and really get into a routine with this.
Salut.
