| Stick figures. |
When we learn how to fly, we forget how to walk… Train.
My head seems a tad muddled at the moment and can’t seem to know if I’m coming or going with my head being everywhere and not being able to focus on one direction to take my work in. Previously in my life I decided to watch two films at the weekend which is a miracle for an adult who has the attention span of a two year old. Johnny English and Sucker Punch which were both great films in their own rights. Also my love of Yankee Candles is getting out of hand as I now own enough to open my own shop. Kim has gone off for an interview today at Manchester Metropolitan University! So I wish her the best with the interview and all that it entails!!
Visiting a car boot over the weekend was an event in itself with around 100 stalls to get round and £10 to buy as much as I could, I ended up with a couple of vintage jumpers which hold memories within their fibres and the Alien box set which I can’t wait to watch as I have been looking at Alien and Giger as part of my work.
With the pathway statement reworked (again) and the contextual studies punctuation corrected, (again) I have been able to focus on the pathway project itself, the project has headed down a very different avenue than originally intended. We had a group critique this past week which was nerve-racking to say the least, the thought of standing up in front of my peers knocked me sick as they judged and questioned the motives behind your work. Thankfully it went well and I had nothing to worry about. My work has ventured down the path of looking at stick figures and the ideas behind restricting their bones through torture and puppetry; I gained the inspiration for this from a number of images obtained from Google and through looking at books. As a way of looking at joints I focused on drawing over people to gain the basis for how joints move and where they can sit in conjunction with the other joints. The basis for all stickmen and figures is the shoulders as they determine the stance of the person and how they move. I feel like I am learning a whole new craft at the moment as it requires a lot of thinking ahead to the final stance as the joints and ligaments won’t move in a 360 degree motion. To forward my work over the coming week I will continue to draw figures and come up with a concept by Wednesday which shall help towards a final piece which could consist of a series of illustrations or a small piece of garment construction.
Personal life…
Not much has gone on over the past week so there isn’t much to talk about. I feel like I am going nowhere fast with life.
Sister has headed back to University which I am proud of her for doing as I know she is going through an emotional rollercoaster at the moment.
I am obsessed over a chicken bag which I might just have to purchase soon as I keep looking at it and want it more and more.
Partner is doing fine which is good; we get by and we have settled into life.
Harvey is being lively like usual which can get annoying at times as after 11 years it takes its toll on you. (Sorry cat!) But he is part of the family and love him to pieces
