So my University project for this term is based on the very, incredibly loose concept of 'Society' --- Basically meaning, for any of you who don't go to an arts university/school/whatever and wouldn't understand what I mean by that ----- I can pretty much do whatever I want and relate it to that brief.
SO.
I've decided to look at human sexuality - The different forms of it, what is created by it, etc. It's a pretty broad idea still, even though I'm a bit more than half - way through term, which is a bit worrying..But I believe that has more to do with the references that I've been given by my tutors and such. I actually had a fantastic tutorial yesterday, where my tutor told me that the reason I was still so confused as to what I was doing and making was because I was over-thinking it..Sounds strange, maybe, but it makes sense. You see --
For something as such as to what I'm doing for this term; looking at sexuality, and the like..It's not something that can be over-thought and produce great results. This statement will make more sense if you look at the later posts on this blog, but basically, for what I'm looking at right now in terms of references and what I'm creating, it's more about the process of the subconscious and how that works itself out. So by over-analysing and trying to understand why a certain artist is doing what they're doing; By trying to understand EXACTLY what it is that I'm doing RIGHT NOW..I'm actually not using my subconscious at all. Which defeats the purpose.
Don't get me? You'll see..Just continue reading on to the other posts.
