I felt a little deflated last week. Since the tutorial last Tuesday and realising I need to decide what to exhibit I lost all my energy for the project. I think coming in at 8am everyday the week before and working all weekend left me sleep deprived. I didn't produce any new work either which left me feeling uneasy, as I'd produced loads until now, but as the tutors said, you have to stop somewhere. I still came in every day, did a lot of thinking and played around with composition in my sketch book so it wasn't time wasted. I felt as though I had nothing left that I want to explore with the project, so really just need to choose what to exhibit that best represents my ideas.
I've never liked the concept of "The Final Piece". Every one I've ever produced has flopped. I think the pressure you put on yourself to make it the best thing you've ever made takes away from the ideas behind it and what you're trying to show. I feel picking the strongest pieces from my body of work suits me much better, and will properly reflect my ideas.
Right now it's between my acetate layerings and my photos of Vicky with my skin projected onto her. I think it would be nice to have something from my personal body of work and the work Vicky and I have produced together. I also like the idea of projecting my skin onto a wall so that people can step in front of it. That would then bring an interactive element to my work.
