Passionfruit - Where I may wanna Go in my practice

I'm entering a queer erotica Anthology. I usually wouldn't do this out of fear of what my family would think. However for my practice to develop I see it dealing with mature themes of horror and maybe sex. So i want to develop my art in an erotic context to see if this will become a pillar of my practice.

Self-Reflection, Idealising my Practice for Myself

A while ago Jon asked me to look at creating a short piece of writing that looked at me as a creative and person and what I want from life. To be honest I find this difficult to do, when it comes to being honest in my practice to what I want and not what I think others want of me. It’s why I put it off for a long time.

What I can say first and foremost is that I want to live somewhere warm. Tuscany in the hills preferably. I’d like a kind of Conservative that’s a Print studio/green house. I want to create concept for stories with people that get developed into films, made for Sundance, I want them to question the horror genre. I want to become a part of the new wave of Black writers, director, artists and creators improving the standard of content created in the film and publishing industry. I want my work to exist in three different realms. In international and wide reaching Ideas and concepts, In the art and publishing sectors character and comics and in the more selective state of personally driven or commissioned lino prints.

I don’t just want to exist in one place. I want my practice to reflect my diversity but I don’t want to put people off within my inconsistency. I know that Contacting and being consistent in my grafting and creating is important to my practice and i worry my apathy will ruin it for me. 

Contacts

Making contact with people isn't even half the battle for me. I find it difficult to keep in contact with people that I don't regularly see. David Olusoga and I exchanged a few emails and became contacts on Linkdin similarly to Dona Todd. But I've not contacted them further. Similarly to how i try to up date my instargram every 3 days I may just have to set a day aside when i Just make sure I'm refreshing and keeping in contact with people.
