1st August - The End Is Near

The artist's world is limitless. It can be found anywhere, far from where he lives or a few feet away. It is always on his doorstep. — Paul Strand

Well a new semester is upon me and already travelling along at lightening speed. What makes it particularly scary, is that it is the second part of my major and at the end of the year I will be sent out into the world to create art all on my own. This is an exciting, yet daunting prospect.  So here we are....nearing the end and yet I feel as though I am only at the beginning of my artistic journey.  I had so many ideas of what I wanted to acheive before I finished my degree and have not come close to being able to outwork the endless abyss of ideas that are whirling around in my mind . I think it may be called delusions of grandeur. Dont get me wrong, I have had academic success, but there was so much more I had wanted to acheive and already fear there is just not enough time. I realise time, like most things is a relative term. Of course, some will say that there will be plenty of time to create once my degree is completed, but there is also the pressure of finding work and making money, both pressures of which can certainly be theives of inspiration. So.... aside from creating an inspiring body of work to show at the graduates exhibition, I now need to find the inspiration to discover what comes next.....ironically, only time will tell.
