TIME OUT!!
ive decided im at the point where ive almost had enough.
Looking back on this blog, it seems that the entire last month has been spent exercising my brain. Researching artists, art movements, art that i like to look at, art which pisses me off, thinking about art related concepts, writing me thoughts about art.....Art Art Art...think think think! my brain is tired. i need to stop.
Dont get me wrong, I enjoy art, and im beginning to get confident in forming my opinions about what the whole notion of 'Art' is and about what it is i want to create. In fact i have done more art related research and conceptual thinking in the past month than i have in the entire past two years at art school. It is healthy, but in balance with the practical part of art, and in balance with the rest of my life. It seems that my priorities are out of kilter. So im just going to take a wee bit of time to sort them out. Just want to relax and give my brain a rest. Doesnt mean im going to completely dismiss art school. I just think its time for me to start playing around with some practical stuff and start making some plates. I think will be healthy for me to be spontaneous in just making some experimental prints, but at the same time doing it with the knowledge of everything ive been thinking about in the past month. Test out some ideas etc. But this i need to balance AROUND the other things that i consider important in my life....spending time with my creator, church, family, friends, exercising, listening to music, surfing the net, travelling (going to switzerland this week), reading books, drawing, playing the piano, watching tv, listening to some music, singing to some music, dancing to some music. Dunno, whatever tickles my fancy really. Im just sick of sitting in front of a computer all day trying to outpour all my thoughts on everything ART! gotta stop thinking so much and start physically doing more.
Its all about balance.
Thats it. im going to bed.
