Rationale Update

Pre-exhibition update.

I now have a good sense of direction on what I'm doing and I'm really enjoying it. I'm lacking confidence in my body of work at the moment as I don't feel I have any strong work to show for the last couple of months. But I do feel that I'm much more confident in myself and my sense of direction. I've started to realise that this is much more important in the long run, and that churning out any old work that I struggle to produce does me no favours.
I work a lot better if I'm feeling comfortable and excited with the projects I'm working on, which is what I want to try to ensure for the upcoming Live Brief. I'm successfully working on the idents; which I am now submitting as my 'book', and taking my interest in crafts to submit some work for the postcard and wall mounted piece. I've always tried to push my love for crafts and hand made things aside from my usual work, as I feel this is more 'spare time' work than 'professional'. I didn't really consider, that this love for crafts may just be a great influence of my 'visual language'.
Looking back at my original rationale, I have still considered a sense of audience and narrative to my animation, and it has definitely been produced with a direction and purpose in mind. I have also taken part in the curation and organisation of two exhibitions.
Although I'm not totally happy with the way things have run, I've actually managed to achieve what I had in mind in some way or another.
