wickedaceA weird sort of week. Some long-awaited good news for some of my family! Some awkwardness at work. Some life-crisis feelings as I make decisions about some opportunities that came up. Some small pleasures of the "buying new kinds of squash I've never tried before" and "playing a game about trains" variety.
Writing
Have accidentally delayed my regular Friday writing session to later in the afternoon by means of some ill-timed laundry (writing this as I wait for the cycle to finish so I can leave the house...) Haven't been thinking about my main project much this week, but hopefully I will get something out of this afternoon.
Film
Two films this week: Decision to Leave (2022) and The World to Come (2020). Both good, both a bit different from the films I normally go to see, both using the editing cleverly to unsettle. I hadn't seen any Park Chan-Wook before, but I see now why people are fans!
Drawing
This week's class was a guided exercise on different types of mark making and their use in creating simulated or invented texture. Lots of fun, and included some nice group work where we discussed the textures various marks implied to each of us. I also wanted to have a go at some self-portrait (which is what I missed last week), but haven't found the time. Perhaps next week, when I have time off work!
