Having nearly died trying to figure out what to do and how to be happy with my work, I've realised the only way I can fully enjoy and be involved in my practice is if I indulge in everything I feel I've wanted to do from the beginning.
I've realised that my work so far has been productive and interesting but I need to do more expressive pieces to be truly happy doing art. I am going to develop my project in a different way - I have decided to change my project to the, not unrelated theme, of The Unconscious. This links in with the theme of dreams which I first begin with but opens up a whole new spectrum of things I can do and experiment with.
Not only is this subject more broad but it also allows me to do work in ways I am happy doing - work that expresses themes from my unconscious mind. Basically emotions/imagination from my unconsciousness. I am going to do my own personal take on the project - working on expressive abstract pieces on a large scale, extending into installation pieces. Also I will include my own creative writing in my work - this will link in with my thoughts from the unconscious as it shows an insight to the "Stream of Consciousness" which is a Freudian method to show the thoughts/emotions of the unconscious part of the mind. This is also in relation to the dreams I have - images and thoughts from the unconscious. :) :)
