Mail Art is allowing me to be prolific without considering the restrictions of sale and exhibition. The pictures from top to bottom are on blank postcards. Fly by Night is going to Indonesia. Art Club to the USA. Be Creative hasn't got a destination yet and Long Brown hair is going to Canada.
Having studied art for so long I seem to have lost any playfulness may have had because every thing I have made over the last few years has had to have meaning and weight. I have not really played with art since my first year or so of my fine art degree at The Arts Institute at Bournemouth.
So, this is why, at the moment I am being a bit flighty and not really trying to pin myself down to anything in particular. I love making the video work that I concentrated on for so long, BUT, I seem to have lost other important skills because I have been away from 2D work for so long.
I am seriously considering applying for my teacher training very soon, so I need to brush up on all forms of communication involving art processes.
