Inspiration?

I've not 'blogged' in a while, in fact it's been so long i've forgotten my old blog already. I'm sure it's out there...somewhere. Anyway, it's about time we got down to some business here. I've been having some serious lack of inspiration for some new work, in fact my dry spell has been so long i've probably forgotten what I try to get out of my work. Being a bit self obsessed maybe? Who knows.
I think I need to work a bit less maybe and focus on what my life is really about. Art. Though some rearranging in this room so I could at least stick some stuff up and start pooling ideas, perhaps thats what might kick start me again? Maybe i've just ran out of steam now and possibly just don't care? I don't think so. Someone once asked me, "Why don't you do something a bit more useful with your life?" I told them I didn't do this to change the world, make myself a better person. I do it because it's my life, it's everything. My work is me. Sure I could have been a nurse or something else, but really stuck looking after a load of people? I'm probably a bit too selfish for that.

I think my first port of call is to cut down the hours at work first, maybe just by one shift a week. Afterall, it is just a little over a month before I shall once again be returning to The National Glass Centre...finally, a studio again! Or as someone described it, the most bitchy place in the world and it's true. She said he said, oh fuck off people it's uni not primary school. But I think i'll save myself a little rant for another time.

Ciao!
