This term I have seen some successes, working on Penguin Random house and YCN Dog's trust has enabled me to contextualise my practice within the creative industries to a higher standard and produce some good portfolio pieces. The past few weeks, however, I have been feeling especially de-motivated in producing work, and I think this comes from the lack fulfilment I am getting from completing competition briefs.
In tutorials with both Matt and Ben I have realised that what could better distinguish me as a practitioner are my interests and I need to use these to fuel my practice. I would like to use Easter as period in which to find and outline a passion project to complete when I return to Leeds, so that I can use the remaining time to be creating something for me as a practitioner.
Ideas / Stuff I would like to do :
- A printmaking project inspired by David Hockney's 'homemade' prints, working shape, bitmapped patterns and hand-drawn elements - with a similar focus on composition as my context of practice work.
- A content-driven project on an environmental issue that concerns me - could this still be range of editorials in some way?
- Screen-print some long-sleeved t-shirts :)
- Produce an animation or series of looping gifs - this could potentially be combined with the content-driven project.
