A breakthrough! Finally!

This may all amount to nothing (have to put a little negativity in there before I start, it's just my style!) but this morning I had a 'hallelujah' moment whilst talking to one of my friends. I was venting my frustration over not being able to place a 'meaning' to my work, and telling her of an Artist I'd found on a contemporary Art website called Derek Albeck. Here's one of his drawings/paintings...
I realise now, that your work in order to be recognized, should have a symbol, or more obviously, a meaning. Of course I've always known this... It's just insanely difficult for me to commit a meaning to my work. I get panicked in case I change my mind, or in case there isn't enough to go on... and so on.
But, I thought (only this morning, it's just like me to leave things completely to the last minute!) why not merge both of the avenues I was exploring into one. Using the idea of limits (time limits, and limits as to what I should draw) and also the idea of my work becoming autobiographical... Possibly exploring each year of my life through someone who influenced me during that year.

I have to admit, I'll be extremely hesitant to tell tutors about this, or explain in great detail, only because I really can't take another, 'But what does it mean?' interrogation.
