The Question Butterflies are hard at work...

Having gone through this process of forming my thoughts more clearing in order for someone else to read them, I feel both content and frustrated.

Always frustrated about the amount of time I’m able to spend on these ideas – as the same with so many others. And also the feeling that I’ve just scratched the surface. 4,000 words feels as though it wouldn’t do the work justice. But, is that a good or bad thing?

I feel as though I should be able to describe my ideas within that amount of work, yet realistically, there seems to be so many avenues, ideas, thoughts, feelings that they would be so much more.

The problem I find is when I write about art, I feel I am needing to clarify what art is - who is it for? What purpose should it serve? Are we making too much of it? What’s the Utopian ideal that we should be striving for?

And so, this foundation is having to be discovered, clarified and describe before I can continue further.

How I facilitate, work and interact with others in my roles affects how I perceive art and the artwork I want to and do create.

Everything is connected – a reason why I chose to create a mindmap. It had the ideas around it in order to display these links and ideas visually, as well as through the text used.

And so, I’m content in the knowledge that I finally have a space – a digital sketchbook where I can write all these ideas, interlink then and represent them nearer to something that I can make sense of.
