'I WANT YOU TO PUSH IT FURTHER..."



that is all he ever says to me! arrrrgh! i actually do not know how to "push it further" within two weeks. my initial concept was to weave (as in, physically weave) 2 images together to represent the weaving of cultures. and he (my lecturer) was like, "great stuff! it's a bit cliche, but i want to see you to push it further."

i am stuck on creating fantastic conceptual ideas that will do so. any ideas? look at michel tuffery's bulls. the first one, just a life sized bull made out of tin corned beef cans. and he "pushed it further" by making 2 mechanical bulls, that were engaged in a fight with fireworks spinning off them...

he tells me that he's actually "good friends" with shayne (michel's brother). i was like, "um, that's nice." he told me that "originally michel was a painter/etcher and was looking for new material to etch on. he was playing around with the inside of a tin cornbeef can, when he got the idea for the bull creation." mmm. good times.

anyways, i've gotta put my all into this because it's our last assignment of the year and i have to get it perfect the first time because i've got no more resubmits. so i'm scared, but the challenge only makes me wanna work harder and prove to the lecturers that i deserve to be here. got my essay back today. they were suprised at my B+ i got for it. i just wish i put effort in at the beginning of the year and i wouldn't be in the mess i am in at the moment.

what was i doing instead? oh just chasing boys up and down the country hahaha lesson learned!
