We were given one page at random from a book and had to remove words until the ones remaining fit to explain our current work. This was my outcome.
Connections. New transportation. We’ll ditch the. And the rest is history. We’ll try to make a difference. Make a difference. Serious now.
I felt these words really connected with my thoughts and ethos as an artist at least currently. Connections is something i cherish a lot, and dont make the jump to build in depth. I find shallow connections easy to acquire which is why i prefer to be alone than to be involved in it. I’m very much against major corporations controlling art such as music and because of this i’m very much a DIY artist. Connections and community is something DIY artists rely on to share and build together to stand against the Goliath like entities that corporations are.
New transportations, i want to take things forward. I find when you look back at artists that make a huge impact and difference they were pioneers in their field. I found myself these last few years of being artistic being certain that they were correct in their art forms and how modern ones didn’t live up to it. But at the time i’m sure the same was being said those artists work, for example Madlib. I’ve learnt more recently to expand my current passions to try and take things forward for my generation.
And the rest is history is my almost self fulfilling prophecy. I’ve decided my path and the rest is history as they say.
We’ll try to make a difference, make a difference. serious now. In my work i think there is serious room for political conversation. I think it’s important to raise voices of people who don’t have them. I come from a poor working class background and even being at an art school makes me want too, if i get the opportunity too. Help give a voice to other people who are marginalised.
