printmakin

the idea of 'journey' has always had some sort of hold over me as an idea, maybe cause of my stupidly obsessive want to travel. i dont like stayin in one place to long....yuo get attached n theres got to be so much more to life that what i've known so far or atleast thats what people keep tellin me. i simply printed my footprint once then photocopied it onto acetate shitloads of times. i then placed these round college, illustratin simple journeys that people do every day round college. i didnt really get on with printmakin so this was an easy way for me to do what was asked of me. i also got into alot of trouble for this project at one point (but thats another story) n i wuold have go in even more shit if i'd had done what i originaly wanted to do which was cut out a stencil of my footprint so i could sprypaint them onto the floor but like i said i was alredy in the shit!!

all through this project i also considerd the term 'journey' in its metaphorical sense n did a peace based on simon pattersons 'the great bare'. i think the metaphorical jounreys just as important as the literal cuase its how people learn n i'd been on a massive journey since i'd started college n its gone in directions i woudl never have dremt of. this part of my journey has sort of started over again in the sense that i no who i am now but at uni, i'm learnin about my identity as an artist which is a journey that i can see is goin to be like a huge fuckin rollercoster but "its not the destination, its the ride that counts".
