recent live briefs reflection/ notes

My last two live briefs, a feature in Forge Art Magazine and a print for PRESS fundraiser have both been really open briefs with an opportunity to make something that could be quite self-indulgent, or RATHER, an opportunity to examine my tone of voice in working and really make something that showcases 'ME'. This was particularly important in the Forge feature as it is, after all, a magazine about showcasing new creatives.

I don't know how I really identify what I make without it just coming naturally. I suppose my interest at the minute in my working are

• emotion
• narrative

But 'emotion', to me, certainly doesn't have to mean gloomy. It's more a visceral(?) thing?

At this point I think I need to get my head back in the game of working to tighter briefs too, but right now COP is a huge priority and these briefs have happened to come up with sooner deadlines too. At this point, I have accepted that I'll have to sacrifice some work I would have liked to have done for Extended Practice over Christmas in favour of COP (writing and practical), but the ideas are there and they are brewing and not forgotten...
