overload

I think I've done too much do-ing with not enough thinking. My paper cuts/boxes/dioramas have got a little lost. I'm not quite sure any more of what I am trying to achieve. I think its ok, there are benefits to just getting on with it and learning by the process of making, but I am feeling a little frustrated that I don't actually like any of what I have made. However, if I see each piece as a preliminary sketch, as a working through of the idea, rather than an end result, I can see that my time has not been wasted. I think maybe I should go for a walk in the windy sunshine, reading this back only confirms how muddled my head is! Some photos to illustrate my point:

I rehoused and slightly altered this one...


finished this one...




Started, then abandoned this one....


and am waiting to continue with this one...



All in all I think I prefer the stones the children and I painted on the beach!
