Sculpture 3

Brainstorming

gotta put myself into my work

why am I interested in art - I find it beautiful and appreciative and I'm interested in it because it's like an outlet for me when I was younger.
what is my favorite work - I don't have a favorite work but I know what I like.  I like work that can tell a story or has a theme (a series of works) that progresses.  I enjoy drawing and photography that are in black and white.  Works of sentimental and emotional value that can be dark or have a dark side to them.
favorite artist - Definitely don't have a favorite artist.  That's probably my problem right there because I don't know many artists that I can name off the top of my head whose work I enjoy, have seen, remembered, or follow.
why do I do art - Sometimes I do art to express myself with whatever I'm feeling or going through at the moment the work is done.  Stuff that I have done have been because of personal things so it's alot of emotion involved in my work.  I do art to tell a story.  Some stuff that I do I do it because of the beauty I think it shows or I am drawen to the subject for maybe unconscious reasons that I am not aware of but I speaks to me.

Thoughts for my next project

stay with wire.  I want to find an old life-size baby doll to help me scale and do the right portions of a mini-person.  I'm thinking of doing something along the lines of a self-portrait. 

I remember the discussion I had with Santiago about why I do art the day after crit.  And I said that I struggle with the ideas for projects.  Somethings I think about if getting a BFA and being known as an artist is something I really want to do or can do.  I wonder if I'm on the right path.  I'm questioning if I want or can do this for the rest of my life.

So for this project I want to do something that is best on being on the right path or not.
