Started the day with a degree of uncerainty. Enjoyed singing, get my soul in gear for the day. Continued with my art piece (to show the journey of the film we are working ) which looks like a Dadaist piece at the moment. I like Dada… and surrealism, so I’m fine with that. Matt Bate’s is intriguing me. Looks like some sort of abstract board game. Very rad.
I’ve realised that some windows in our office may help creativity. I dryly asked Andrada if we could smash a hole in the wall and she very earnestly quipped ‘you’d smash straight into someone elses office, it’s not an exterior wall’. There goes that idea. I’m usually quite tidy but our office is quickly growing cluttered with dead media, snacks, papers and other bits and pieces. For some reason I don’t want to tidy it up.
Felt a little clearer about my direction after a nice chat with Mr Speyer. Had a good walk in the fresh air with Paddy too the other day. Kind of felt very father/son like… but without the need for fatherly approval.
I now realise that most of my sparks of inspiration and ideas happen when I am at home. Maybe in the shower, in bed or slothing around in my uggboots and tracksuit pants watching football shows. It’s good to get that time alone to switch off and in a weird way that switches me on.
Creating my alter-ego for the presentation. Looking forward to him meeting everyone.

I’m guilty for the snacks, but you’re eating them too!
Yes. Alter Ego. but let’s not give away too much just yet

And yeah. Home is where the ideas are if they’re full of heart.
Pardon the corniness.
