The problem with writing papers or making art is that I always think too much. This may come off as procrastinating from the outside because what people don't know is that I am not putting off but thinking about how I will write or how I will create before I do it. I have learned though, that starting the task rather than thinking it to death is more productive. You can think about doing something all you want, but you really have to do it to work through the details. (Note to self- practice what you preach!)
My current work acts as a substitution for my lost childhood memories. For my thesis installation, I have created an environment in which bits of my memory are combined with created memories. As the definition of dream states, “dreams are a succession of images, ideas, emotions and sensations occurring involuntarily in the mind…” I wish to transport the viewer into this dreamlike space by immersing them in my world.
