I think I’ve certainly run out of steam for this year now. So I wanted to reflect on the works I’ve made.
I started 2020 a little burnt out from a year long film project I’d undertook during the completion of the my Masters. I thought it was brought so much to a point of closure, that it would be a long time until i made new work. I thought the motives behind my making had been well and truly exorcised, and the closets could be indefinitely closed
But, for good or bad, when it comes to a practice that is as as compulsive/obsessive as professional, I found the pandemic gave me the impetus, and intent to make again. Maybe a motivation a little bit like the saying’ Slavoj Zizek always uses; that a light at the end of the tunnel could well be a train coming the other way.
Drawings: to to bottom:
- I feel nothing…
- The Crucible of all our traumas
- Self portrait of ego
- All of your Gods and Pounding my Head
- A New Spring has Sprung
