Luxurious chic

Furry

i LOVE ice cream.

I have now finished university for the summer.

3 Years and still going at Chelsea. A foundation course really drags the time along.

So i am forgetting about last term and moving on with this summer.

I need to be PRO-active and get myself into gear for Final Degree show...

So this summer will consist of a lot of creativity and exploring ways of finding it.

Good Morning Saturday

Where has the passion gone?

Currently in my last couple of weeks of university, just finishing up for summer.

I should be enjoying this time, working on my photographic portfolio, taking it easy, looking forward to the degree show, but i have that constant Monday morning feeling. Where i have been roped into a technical weave block, which consists of workshops to boost a confidence between a very small group. Learning new techniques, helping each other and becoming more confident within in weave for next year.

Except i don't have that passion to be there anymore, the reason i chose weave because it was something i enjoyed, i liked the relaxation and therapeutic movement of creating a cloth from nothing, the prospects of what it had to hold. This has been taken away by the strict rules and regulations of having to do this and having to do that. I know i am still at university and learning, but this is not what it should be about. It should be a choice whether you want to learn these new techniques. Instead of walking in 5 minutes late and getting gunned down. Come on, chill out.

This is a bit of a rant cause realistically i would rather be working, earning money for the summer seeing my friends who are home from university, but instead i am doing a weave technical workshop which i have no interest in doing. Creating samples which i have no interest creating and something that i will not want to display in my portfolio. Is this why i meant to be doing an art degree? Its about the passion and creativity you portray within your work.

I hate the thought of going in tomorrow...

Has this really what it has come too?.
