As an artist am I trying to make a mark or am I making a mark with my mark making? This seems to be a question that seems to come up a lot in my mind, with the cuts on creative spending I seem to find my attention drawing away from mark making in regards to my craft and practice. I seem to worry about paying bills and maintaining my basic standard of living for me and my child. Will balance be restored?
I have been blessed, that I work in a museum and it helps to finance my art and inspire my soul but with the big society being pushed forward as the way to go for londoners/Uk? I do feel that that people that have not much at the moment will have even less in time to come the same story of the past will rear its head again and the small amount of people who have quite a bit will have much much more. I know that this is not new but if we forget the past we will be doomed, that its cycle will never stop. I have began to create some work based around these thoughts that seem to be buzzing around my head, i hope to share..........
Its all in the eyes
When people say what they have to say do they make eye contact?
