Unit 3 Assessment///
Introduction///
It’s been an enlightening journey and a wrestle on the MA. In a tutorial with Jonathan we discussed that the process of releasing the high level of finish, in exchange for a faster more spontaneous and less self conscious process. Moving forward this final term it would be of benefit to continue to ‘make as much as possible’ and as freely as possible to continue to explore and be as generative as possible. That this would be the best way to invest in my ongoing practice after the MA. Establishing an intelligent and intuitive rhythm of making at the heart of my practice. To capitalise on elements and qualities already present, to become more aware and wise to how and when I am succeeding. That from this place I can make expand and focus when needed.
By freeing my process, thinking and productivity through intentional disruptions to my practice; restricting time, thought, space and language, making ‘little rules for making’ as explored in my research paper and film, I am discovering better rhythms and disciplines to my professional practice. Discoverng expansion of my practice even in limitation. This experimentation has been intended to contribute to my overall freedom of practice to become more generative, exploratory and engaging, connecting my research and making in a more symbiotic manner. With the intention of establishing a more sustainable and practice for the future, where I can spend more time and focus on particular projects and craft key ideas, whilst retaining the freedom and spontaneity.
