from my morning pages
I feel like I need to take another leap. Maybe this is like learning a language - you’re constantly reaching a plateau that feels frustrating.
How can I leap? I’m thinking that trying to create the two or three persona of me in my work is a bit of a coldasac, but I don’t what to do instead. Draw something? Make something. I need to make something. I can work around the making, but there needs to be something doesn’t there? The One Hour Exhibition perhaps? Some drawings? Something. A video? A website? A self-portrait? Or am I I just making a self portrait constantly? But then I need to do that outside the studio, maybe not just about the work. The work can capture it. But I don’t want to just make work about the work.
That’s the central part of my problem isn’t it? The emptiness of it.
At the moment my life is so caught up in the department and my studio space that I can only see that. Surely my life is richer. The work can capture and reflect that. Can’t it?

Always thought I was the tea queen of Aberystwyth but now I realise for me it was merely a means to an end; a tool in my superficial life. You have found the means to turn it into an end and made the Tea art in it’s own right.
