After a very frank discussion with my tutor( she is right actually) I am a very worried person but stepped up and taken on board everything she had to say. Regarding the artists I have been talking about Ghader Amer and Tracey Emin for example I haven't really explained how they relate to my own work. I don't explore very personal feelings. I don't talk about pornography, sexuality,so what messages to I portray in my art.MY ART belongs to me I do say a message and as my tutor says it is a very quiet message. She also says I have to throw away the rose coloured spectacles. I know I do and I will starting from today. I did cry but it was good I really need to stop the pretty stuff and make art my art and I need to explore the difference between art and craft otherwise I will be destined to be in evening classes with old ladies painting flowers...................I don't want that.......... I'd rather give up and do a hairdressing course..........no disrespect to hairdressers.
PS. The picture is the open cast (disused mine) near my parent's house. I will continue to put my heart and soul in to this project and continue to work very hard I did feel a bit disheartened and have a couple of days pondering, but like the swans in the picture I appear to look serene but the legs underneath are paddling away.
