Making and Not making

I haven't felt as excited by making lately, potentially partly because I haven't felt very impressed by the results of my casting and my bone work. It doesn't quite infer what i want it to infer, and I also feel like the imperfect nature of the made pieces frustratingly shows my lack of skill. I don't want the viewer to look at the work and be thinking of my hands making it, I want it to feel as though these objects have been discovered. I have also just started to feel like i'm making the same things over and over again. I have felt very inspired by the writing aspect of the course though. My research proposal is beginning to take form, having started with lots of automatic and somewhat automatic writing, as well as lots of in depth reading which I have been really enjoying. My subject of choice is menstruation, with both a socio-political/anthropological perspective and an art perspective. I'm interested in shifting the narrative from feminist art to body art.
