The problem now is - what do I do next? Do I stand up for my vision and continue making the bottles so that I can acheive the biggest extraordinary installation of ceramic "beautility" objects I can - invoking irritation and misunderstanding from my painting tutors and peers; taking up room on the benches, shelves and kilns in the Ceramics department; using the technicians time and expertise and using the materials, some of which I will have to pay for, to start with a blunger of slip costs out at anout £70 they reckon..? Or do I try and revisit my actual paintings on canvas, try and find something inspiring in my own work and that of others to motivate me and that will give me enough spiritual energy to put in the cognitive/subconcious effort and time/physical effort that such a new start would require. I really feel I need to back down and produce what will get me my BA, not be awkward just for the sake of making something I like personally: as I said to my tutor yesterday "I would love to do something cool and modernist
[with contrasting colours] but I dont think I will be able to get away with it..."
