Process

This always seems to happen. I fear getting started. Going into projects, I get caught up in the success of it. I get worried that I may not maintain my inspiration with it since I tend to drift with whatever I'm doing at the time. I guess that's all the more reason to actually go through with it, getting over the initial hump. I was thinking about an idea I sort of neglected last semester. I think I'm going to bring it back in addition to this "social survival" one.
With this past idea, I was thinking about was about relationships. It was about how persistent people can be with trying to make things work even when they really know in the back of their mind, it probably won't work out. I started the idea with making a cup out of clay with a big split down the middle. I found a mug to be appropriate since a relationship is so related to consumption. Also, I associate coffee mug's with "down time"/ comfort, and conversation, which are also present in relationships. I ended up making charcoal drawings of mugs with these cracks but they didn't satisfy me. I think I'm going to make prints of them since I've been into this contemporary printmaking class.
