Hello lil' Fran!
Feel so good to express my feelings and share experiences abt my auto-enthnography project. Love to do some personal work like that...Feel like all those personal works are the courage and passion that prove my absence somehow... :D And personal works remain me the very first feeling of wanting to study something about art-related courses. Feel good and expressive at the same time!!!!
Yet as time goes by, I feel myself being less and less expressive in my created works...Maybe that's the reason why I don't quite enjoy creating them recently? Feel like they are mostly the heaps of "homework"-like matters only...Why concern abt how the other feel abt my own personal projects a lot ar francesfranfran ho!!!!!!! == Sometimes I feel like I am just onbody to others and no one finds my works worth for some certain attentions and they all fall asleep.......................== ummmmmm....if they don't wanna read it they will tell you lah dun worry abt the things that not yet happened!!!.....ARGH hahaha yuppp!
Hello auto-enthnography and thanks for remaining me what the roots of my passion n courage are...you are no longer only the theories written on books but smth really remain me the possibilities in life and my own creations. Thanks for reasoning the old activites that I use to do- Dressing up in a lot of different roles and photographed myself. All I was thinking is to see how myself's like in those outfits and photos in particular when I was really lose and sad...but I have never thought that I was using them to somehow cure my emotions...
The first self protrait that I took in the MTR instant photo machine...The day before my 19th birthday and SCM interview at 13/06/2008 heehee. Also the day I concerned as a very good chance to challenge myself... Frame it as "A great beginning." :D They were the outfits that I wanted to put on but yet I couldnt explain a 100% why...Maybe a way to express how I want a X'mas in sunglasses? or a question towards why everybody dress almost the same with the information from mainstream media? Why couldnt we wear a Christmas hair band with sunglasses on during the long hot summer day? well...
I think I have a lot of room to improve my techniques and thoughts but seriously this form has inspire me a lot since the presentation of Jo Spence.
Brave and adorable! Love the concept of photo-therapy!
Thanks for your sharing.
回覆刪除There are moments when we are not in the mood to express ourselves and want to think more and that's okay.
Perhaps the many research-based artists we have study have demonstrated to us that art can be in the form of self-detachment or working with reasons. There's no reason why an artist cannot have these other 'voices' than pure direct emotive expression.
