As a maker/ artist and an art student I find there are many ways in my life where work and play interact and overlap. Art is one of the things I enjoy most in life, both making and observing it. Being a student within the realm of art I am severly blurring the lines of play and work in my life, making my work life and my play life have a complex and strange relationship.
As a student I take many different kinds of classes which are all part of a curriculum. By fullfilling these requirements I can obtain a degree. Within these classes there are assignements and dealines. All of the words in itallic make the work I do for a school a f labor time, there is value for which I am working towards. However being a creative student I need to work with ideas and concepts which are inspired from many different places such as, radical boredom and meaningless work. The ways in which I need to work are related to task time, making something till it is done. Being a make makes me constantly question, observe and investigate work for fun or work for value.
