had the best day ever!!!
this weekend, loads of art studios (private ones) are opened to the public. i went on the grand tour with two japanese friends. gah had so much fun.?not only where the locations really close to my halls but we got to talk to loads of working artist...some from different corners of the world. there were amazing photography and video art. this malaysian photographer that took loads of pictures of empty chairs...emphasising the absence of people and crowds while this japanese artist made videos of confused people lost in massive office buildings.
oh i also got to talk to 3 chinese comtemprary artists that did loads of installation work. they`re visiting from chongqing and staying for around 3 months. so cool to be actually questioning the masterminds behind the work. it just made me realize working artists are human as well ^o^kekeke. for the first time it made me feel like an artist myself!! like im actually in the same profession and i could picture myself working....putting my ideas into action.
ah i was bustling with excitement today. i think its also partly because of how involved i`ve become into college. fashion textiles is so much fun...we get a lot of freedom within the projects to work with different media so its not just fabric but 3 dimensional work and media and also fine art stuff. but its all a bit intense tho i have to admit, the workload is just over the top. we`ve just finished a 2 week project ( i had crit on friday) only to learn that this weekend we`ve got to start researching for the next one. there are people that dont come to college and do very little work but some (actually it feels like most people) are so enthusiastic and cram their sketchbooks with work. the tutors are so impressed. gah i have to work really hard to get into BA next year....i`m so scared of the competitiveness especially within fashion design. what shall i do? gah apparently people are viciously hardworking at central st. martins, like they hide their work from each other and try to steal ideas and stuff. faints... confidence is so important in this business. i have to believe in myself, otherwise ill never succeed. its like a battle scene out there...crazy workaholic art students fighting for one BA spot in CSM.
i really wish i could put some of my work and other artists stuff from the exhibitions up here but still havent got a camera!! going carzy because of the lack of these tools. my shopping list just goes on. have to get a sewing machine, a camera, a printer and a new mobile. sigh...maybe santa claus will pay me a big visit this year, i`ve been a good girl havent i?
