I know what I want to make!!! I emailed Coach and he gave me some really good advice that I feel like I knew in the back of my head but just wasn't accessing. I also went to the VMFA with my family the other day and I saw a piece that really inspired me! It was also just really nice to be back and surrounded by art and explaining the meaning of the pieces I knew about to my family gave me a bunch of ideas and got my creative juices flowing. So I saw this piece that I've seen so many times before, but when I saw it while I was there I looked closely and realized that it was something that I could hypothetically make myself; meaning, I worked with metal armatures with my last sculpture and I feel like I could figure out how to make it. I also love how its a sculpture but flat and can be mounted, since I have really been wanting to make a large hanging piece that can be the center of my portfolio. I think I'm going to make a sculpture with the same materials I've used in the past, but try and assemble it on a canvas. I'm kind of scared because I'm really not sure how the physics is going to work out, but I think re-using some of the shapes I've used in the past is going to add a lot of cohesion to my portfolio. I'm also just excited to work with with wire mesh and plaster again; I genuinely enjoy the process of making these types of pieces so much. I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to get all the materials, since in school I had basically everything I needed at my disposal, but I'll figure it out.

I have no idea what to do for my art project. It's not even that; it's more that I really don't want to do anything. I know that sounds horrible that I'm literally writing this on my art blog (actually in the notes app on my phone) but with everything that's going on in the world it just doesn't feel like I have anything meaningful to say! My last piece in Q4 was about emotional distance vs. physical distance but that topic just feels so jaded after months of quarantine. And then going back to my sculptures feels like I'm just redoing something I already did, and to be honest, right now I'm kind of forgetting what those were about in the first place. I just don't know where to start!!! I'm probably going to email coach soon just to ask for his advice and to see if he has any ideas for me to springboard off of. This feels so silly to post about but I think it's kind of important to document this prolonged "stuck" I've been feeling. I will say, I have been doing little sketches on slips of paper at work but they're all super abstract, so I'm not sure if I can pull any inspo from that.
