Dreams of Inspiration

Mum & Me Pinhole
So I'm back to college on Monday morning for the last leg of the journey that has been a 5 year one at that...and finally I will get my degree [Hopefully...that's the plan anyway!] I have a good bit of work to do before that, so over the next few weeks and months it will be heads down. I have even been contemplating giving up TV & vino in the coming weeks so as to be able to focus & put my time to proper use. That means no leisurely glasses of rioja in the ever increasing light & sunny evenings...I know some would be horrified at the thought but it is with a goal in mind & will not be forever...I've done it before & can do it again ;)
My main concern is how to get around the issue that I need to hand in an exhibition proposal on Monday, which should explain what material I will be using in my degree show, the measurements of my final piece, risk assessments, and an explanation of what my work will be. That all sounds reasonable I hear you say, and yes I agree, if it wasn't for the slightly concerning fact that I don't as yet know what this final piece will be and will in turn look like, measure etc. Talk about pressure!! It's not that I haven't given it any thought...it's all I can think about these days. I mean literally...I go to bed tossing & turning wondering what to do, waiting for inspiration to strike and wake up in the morning disappointed that I didn't have some profoundly prophetic dream in regards to my work for the degree show!! I will have to write up something tomorrow, there are no more days left, only 2 more sleeps until I have to hand my proposal in. I just hope that what I do propose will not be set in stone & there will be some understanding on the process of the artist. After all there are around 5 weeks until it has to be set up & if there is one thing that I have learnt in art college, it is that it's all about the process! I am hoping & praying for that crucial dream of inspiration that will bring clarity and direction to my minds maze.
So until next time you crazy cats, when please God I will have a lighter spirit to the direction my work is taking...I bid you Adieu!
