How dare I.
Perhaps another attempt?
I could carry on this conversation by myself, which I guess would make it a 'monologue', but I would much prefer to get some ideas bumping around in the dark.
Basically, lately I have been doing stuff that most people would think was crapolazo - but for once in the last few months, I'm able to skip up and down happy and I sit and glare at my pieces of paper and they glare back at me and then I draw our little charcoal sword sticks and it pulls out its complete lack of erasability (foiled!) and something happens.
So, I thought...is it me? Have I been lazy? Distracted? Defensive? Is it my block? Is it the "system"? The galleries filled with glittering paintings, walls painted black with indeciperable films playing on five hour loops? Money? Is it my coursemates? Is it my town? Was it the food I was eating? I don't know really, I'm trying to figure that out --- I just wondered, what the hell does anyone else have to say about this?
You came to the course to continue your art practice - one would think, to improve it, so what about it makes you want to continue with it - or does it?
Bring it if you have a moment spare to consider.

Oh, and I wanted to add another bit to this. If you haven't had chance to look at JJ Charlesworth's (yup, that one) article in Art Monthly (June 06) discussing Dave Beech's article (May 06), you might observe that side of this she-bang.
We aren't stuck this way are we? Eeks.
