seriously considering scrapping my major work and starting over (1 Viewer)

[johony]

what i'm doing now (latex sculptures) is really becoming tedious and boring, and my progress is stagnating because of it. i'm thinking of moving to either film, photography or graphic art.

is it too risky a move?

Nah mate, give it a go

 

[Nanasaurus]

latex sculptures?

...like s&m?

XD

 

[johony]

not quite s&m stuff
the latex resembles latex gloves more than anything

anyway, i kept with the concept but changed my medium to film

Do you really think that was a wise decision?

I'm starting completely over in EE2.
It's possible, just a little more stressful.

I'm bored of my artwork

i know exactly how you feel i want to start over too...

i have contemplated starting a whole new body of work for VA many times. one day you love it, the next day you hate it. as much as i get annoyed with mine, i would advise to keep the same idea but just modify it in little ways, thats what i tried to do anyway... but i honestly still dont like it that much grrr, its so annoying! cant wait for the whole thing to be over!

i think that sounds fantastic! is it possible for you not to scrap it but simply turn a corner (as my art teacher would say) with it? You should identify what you aren't happy with in your BOW specifically and then firstly see if you can fix it still using your old idea. Because at this stage of the year there is little point to starting again and not using all of the work you have already done.

Hmmmmmmm you are right but i pretty much have 2 start gain, i didnt think(stupid me) that etchings when u print them print the opposite way, so i had 2 start again the other day anywaym iv done like 4/20. so im not sure now wether 2 go on n finish the 20. My art teacher is, well no comment, so i asked another one today and she suggested i change from a etchings to documented form. i could use the etchings i did at the begining of the year, these are full face a3 sized and put them in different landscapes. so for example i could have a cube or building blocks like leggo (little kids have them) and cut one of the prints up and stick it 2 the sides of the cubes and photograph in his childhood enviro or even on a kids colourful rug, and i could set one on fire 2 represent war in an outdoor war enviro. or dirty one up n put it in a work shed.
sorry thats an essay but yer im not sure what do you, what do you think? stick with the old idea, or do the whole documenetd form thing?
by the way , what u doing 4 ur BOW?, hows it going?
