So...I'm three weeks into the new 52 WEEKS project and my feelings have fluctuated immensely. One minute I'm elated and full of ideas, and the next disappointed. It is at these times that I have to keep in mind that these are the feelings that come over me every single year. I often think that's why working in series can be very difficult. I question my choice of theme, images, and work and begin to wonder if I should just throw in the towel. And then I remember how fulfilling the past projects have been. I have also been doing a little something on the side with my last project that I can't wait to share. So, that is what keeps me going.
I'm also feeling a little lost since I finished my final exam. After months of working every spare moment on essays and research papers, I suddenly have time on my hands...but, at the same time, I'm not ready to begin another course just yet. I loved studying Indigenous Literature and am so grateful to live in a country that offers such amazing opportunities to continue studies through university at any stage in life. So, for now I will just keep dreaming and planning and see what comes next.

It's always interesting to me Nanci...how these same doubts plague me every year. I think that's why it is often suggested that artist's not share their creative process when embarking on new work to give it time. Comments are closed.
