I always knew continuous and consistent blogging would be a challenge for me, and I inwardly sigh as I tap this blog entry out, near two months after my last one. As a supposed citizen of the digital ream, should it not be in my DNA to share well, share often? Should I not go forth and ponder... loud, long treatises into cyberspace, flurries of 140 character musings, or photo after photo after filter after photo*, and sit back and wait for the christening of likes, comfortable in the knowledge that they will come? Is it not my millennial birthright?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
It's not in my nature though! I internalise a lot, vast sagas and debates play out in my head, alone I watch them, alone I sort them, alone I respond and debate. There is nothing wrong with this , nothing wrong with a batch of deep thought, personal reflection and internal monologue. However I must remember that I am endeavouring to master this craft of sharing and blogging, as there is benefit and learning to be had, and better not forget the motto I am trying to instil in myself -
So please do forgive my lull and lapse, walk by me as I pick my path, step by step, hopefully into an at least one blog a week habit, walk by me and hold my hand, lord knows I need it.
This post included one of the gum bichromate works from my exhibition in July - yes, the exhibition I am still supposed to write about. I will. I promise. As well as post up more examples of my works and how they came to be.
*Note: If anything, it is Instagram that I find easiest to engage with, and yes, I do like me some filters.
