Day 93

'Plied on the Pressure'

It's becoming increasingly more evident as this project evolves that there is a great deal more that I could be exploring. The Drawings, concepts and thoughts that I have touched upon daily could lead me in any number of directions and the subject matters included could provide with a more focussed practice if I just took one of these notions and stuck with it. However I do find that being able to allow the drawings to be of anything rather than having one particular theme allows me greater freedom and perhaps after the year is done I can choose the elements that were strongest and develop those more. I have also found that from talking to other people about the project to me there is a pressure developing from this to do that little bit more, and this is not to satisfy those people that I have spoken to but more for me. The main reason for starting this project was that I felt I had let my creativity slide, I had entered a slump and I just needed some focus to elevate myself above it. So as things have been going relatively smoothly thus far perhaps instead of just focussing on drawing I could possibly start to develop and incorporate other work and side projects, utilising any extra spare time I can find to take these other things that I want to explore and delve into that a little more. If I do this it's going to be about how I can take these separate tangents and ply them together so that I can still remain focussed on completing the drawing task, all the while trying to further my art practice and generate some larger scale work.
