Although a consistent and concise documentation of Unit 1 practice will definitely helpful, I am starting to feel that it’s rather redundant to lay down everything here, a repetition of what I have elaborated during the tutorials here. This also contributed to my slackful attitude towards keeping this space updated – as an honest confession.
The stress of the pandemic has impacted my work in a multi-facet way – impossibility to use the college space or meeting up with my cohort, being stuck at an environment not optimal for creativity, I have struggled with motivations and concentration. The work given to the course was bare minumum. This means not giving much effort to required commitments that isn’t accessed.
This is not right – not the right attitude, but also not right for a creative practitioner. Creative commitment should ultimately be fueled with passion – the best works come from love and joy. Why, in my past practice, most of the direction-changing moments of inspiration come from off-track wanders. Therefore I want to utilise this space for learnings and thoughts outside the accessed body of work, in order to keep a healthy balance of my practice.
