Positive vibes all round from our lad Ben.
He thinks my work is looking more me, and he's right. I'm much happier with what I'm doing and what I'm making. I'm choosing projects that suit me and sacking off stuff I don't want to do so I don't end up making crap.
I was feeling a bit sketchy about the fact I've only done quick briefs so far, this tutorial was re-assuring cause Ben was fine with what I'd been doing and encouraged me to just keep going.
He suggested I keep making work and then have a moment to review everything I've done and really refine a few favourite pieces. I just need to give myself time to refine, & it's not I'm doing small quick briefs, I'm doing bigger briefs but making them quick.
The Sex Work exhibition is going to be a challenge and he suggested I look at how other artists have depicted sex work, as it's got to be respectful and my work has a kind of 'brutal' edge to it.
I was linked some useful surrealist artists for COP as well, as I'm doing about subverting the male gaze which I think will be useful as I'm still struggling a bit with finding appropriate works for my case studies.
FEELIN GOOD BOUT EVERYTHING.
