'I used to have talent...'
These are a series of drawings in a sketchbook that I did when I was at college. They were a part of my final major project called "Museum of Objects". We visited the Ipswich Museum a fews times, I loved that place, I could sit in there all day, just walking around, looking and drawing. I haven't been back for over a year and I think I miss it.
Look how good I used to be able to draw haha! I enjoyed drawing these, out of everything there, the most. I fell in love with the elephant skull. It's the most memorable object I have ever drawn. They remind me of the wonderful elephant skull etchings by Henry Moore, just not as great as them of course. It makes me happy to draw skulls, it used to be a big part of my work. Now a days, it takes me a while to get into something and recently I haven't finished much.
I've been trying to decide on what I could do for second year, work wise, at university and there are so many possibilities. I think about it a lot, which makes knowing what I want to do even more difficult. I found an unused square sketchbook in my desk and I was thinking I might fill it full of elephant skulliness... I'm not sure yet. It might mean I have to visit museums again, I prefer them to galleries. Maybe I'll work on all sorts of skulls and bones. Argh, I don't know. Hopefully I won't get bored of it, that tends to happen with me, if I even start it at all.
