JOURNALS
Monday was an intriguing blend of organisation and anticipation, a fresh start to the week with a promise of productivity. I found myself eager to create a narrative for the “#WeekNotes” video, a task that both reflected the past week and set the stage for the days ahead. This dual role of artist and documenter constantly presents a unique synergy, where planning isn't just logistics but a storytelling exercise.
With the studio remaining a crisp 5°C from the cold snap, staying warm was a bit challenging. Even with the layers I donned, there were moments throughout the day when I felt a lingering chill. The imperfect balance of working amidst the cold and needing to capture studio footage added extra energy to the day. Morning set the tone for capturing the essence of the work week, perhaps a little enthusiasm combating the brisk air.
An early start unveiled itself as planning time before work commenced. Allocating three hours each morning to personal projects is a luxury I respect and strive to maximise. The key? Multitasking with a purpose. It became clear that when the pen plotter began its rhythmic task, I had a clear aim that kept other activities from interrupting my focus.
Beyond the technical and creative engagements, today was about embracing a new dynamic in my workspace. With the generative art projects taking form and the imminent collaboration calls, resisting the clutter here was my goal. I grappled with an increased rhythm, managing to balance getting a haircut, the continuous work roll, and studio rearrangements.
Reflections at the close revealed relief and satisfaction. The opportunity to begin at work brought with it fresh interactions, laying the groundwork for the valuable weeks to come. I cherished these moments of contributing, learning, and building upon new professional relationships. It felt promising.
And as the day folded into the night, I reflected on approaching tasks, keeping warmth in mind as a gentle reminder of the season's demands. It was a time to blend cheer with layers of warmth, both in apparel and outlook, setting the stage for whatever the week might bring.
