At the moment I'm
finding it difficult to make much art at all but had a break through this week
where I was able to sink my teeth back into my art.

| Quick sketch of subverting everyday objects |
Becoming an art
therapy trainee has meant thinking about art work in a different sense, art has
taken on a different role to me and I am thinking where my personal art
practice will now go.
On the back of the
found objects task during a workshop I began to think about this in relation to
my own artwork. I tend to use objects and after reading the text by Julie
Brooker (as mentioned in my previous blog entry) I have begun to view objects
in a transformed way. My thinking has changed in relation to this text and I
wonder how to move forward from this...
My plan for my art is
to chose objects, deconstruct them and build them back up but to build them
back up to make something else. The everyday objects will undertake a
transformation! The transformation is unknown to me at the moment but through
experimentation and playing I will undoubtedly get somewhere I didn't expect
and this thought is very exciting!
But I can't help but
wonder where my practice sits within my art therapy learning. I feel I look at
work differently and wonder if this will inhibit my own creativity.
There is a book I
intend to read which I hope will give me some gratification, an understanding
of the problems I'm having.
Where does your art therapy practice meet
your identity as an artist?
