Todays tutorial reading:

There was one idea that really interested me when reading this essay in preparation for our talk in tutorial and that was the idea that "We are unable to stabilize a copy, as we are unable to stabilize an original as an original. Reproduction is as much infected by originality is infected by reproduction. In circulating through various contexts, a copy becomes a series of different originals."...
"Every copy is by itself a flaneur - experiencing time and time agin its own "profane illuminations"that turn it into an original. I loses old auras and gains new ones. It remains perhaps the same copy, but it becomes different originals."....

After talking about this idea in tutorial I realized that there are some underlying interests of mine in this idea of producing a new original rather than a copy of producing a new original rather than a copy. I have always enjoyed having repetition play an important role in my work and have always even drawn to building up an image or a work through repetitive mark making or a repeated action.

One thing that I learnt from this tutorial was that it is important to draw on my own interests as things that are not my interest are not good for me. It is always good to go with your instincts when you come across something that sparks a new idea for you to make a work based on. Even if you are unsure of the outcome of that work at the time it is important to follow through as the works that you are really passionate about will develop over time with a lot more depth and meaning. These ideas can often teach you something about yourself and reveal to you something that you didn't know you knew.
