Just Something...

As its christmas, i thought i'd post a christmas-ey arty thing... Not much to explain but that with this one...
Made with 8 beer bottles and 24 chrismas lights =]. Enjoy.

So i decided...

I don't want to be restricted within the boundaries of 'photography'. Although it's something i enjoy and am generally interested in it's not 'what i do'. I'm an artist and as an artist i should be exploring and experimenting with such a thing. This may include the odd bit of photography but if i restrain myself now i'll get stuck in a pit of nasty un-motivated...ness (i realise thats not a word; language isn't my 'thing' either). So open minded, unrestricted and hopefully inspired...

From this week onwards i will create something within the boundaries of 'art' and post it here every week. I'm hoping this will be a bit different for me, something that will challenge me and help me to progress with my work...

For my own reference, heres a few ideas of what this 'something' could be:
A drawing
A sculpture
A painting
A piece of writing
A poem? [thats unlikely, but possible]
A photograph
A graphic
A thought?
A doodle..
An installation [if i'm feeling particularly inspired that week]

I think thats all for now... Bring on the first week...

Late night thoughts..

I've decided on a new 'thing'.
Very late last night i was pondering over the fact that i don't use my camera enough...
It made me think perhaps i should start something new, something that would be an ongoing thing which i could really commit to...as i've had trouble commiting to anything recently with all the problems running a riot in my body.
Anyway, I decided, I'm going to take a picture every week for the next year [hopefully, possibly longer]. Whether that be of someone i spent the day with, something that randomly inspired me, a picture of something unusual that struck my attention, something ordinary but made beautiful in one picture etc etc...

The end result with be a collection of lots of photographs displayed together in some way, which i haven't yet decided...

Being that i'm currently in Reading and have no camera, i won't be starting this until monday but the thoughts are here... thats a start at least...
Hopefully i'll be able to fit this in with the essay i'm meant to be doing.. and can put my final piece for this semester on hold until the xmas holidays... Seems like a good idea but who knows whether it will actually work.
Soon see...


Besides that, i need to keep reminding myself to start doing some actual painting again... i've seen a few things that have set of my imagination but thoughts are all that has come of it so far... Need to brave putting something down on paper; kick start the process...
