This question has probably followed me all my life. I can be an impulsive person, maybe even compulsive. I can procrastinate, push things aside until I feel like dealing with them especially if there is something else that interests me. Maybe not with all things in my life, but certainly school work.
With that said:
1. I don't want to procrastinate! My first step in the right direction is this blog post. It's not due until Friday. Today is Wednesday. check. (ps. sorry about the lateness on the last post Carole).
My compensation: This early post and your hair cut is beautiful, makes you look edgy.
My latest ideas for thesis has been delving into the wide world of female body image. I research eating disorders for my art therapy classes, I have plaster casted a dozen girls and their naked torsos. I am obsessed with the female form as an aesthetic. BUT I have never once used my own female body parts in any of my work.
Reason: fear. insecurity. wtf?! ironic.
2. I don't want to be afraid. What kind of an artist would I be if I virtually don't participate in my own work? I need to be brave. I would be going against everything I am trying to convey in my work.
Fact: The last 6 or 7 sentences took me about 12 minutes to type out. eek, touchy subject.
uhmmmmm. more "don't dos" coming soon.
I love that you posted this so early and you talk about not procrastinating - forcing yourself to listen to your own commands.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I saw the post about my hair - thank you. Flattery will get you everywhere and nowhere.

Fear and failure loom everywhere for everyone - like our own personal clouds. But - you overcame those - quickly! You ARE brave.
