I nearly didn't finish my Masters. I got over my own disagreeableness with the course structure and the available facilities, and acceptable scopes of work, and many other things.
That's a lot of ands in a sentence, but the one thing I did realise along the way that academia was exactly like the ivory tower it is referred to, particularly in the field I was studying - Visual Art.
So much was not approachable for the "un-ins" as I'd like to call them, and that upsets me. I try to make my Art, and the writing about it as accessible as I possibly can.
Thanks to Chatgpt now, we didnt enjoy during my own days of writing my thesis.
Visual Art ? What was the title? and its real life application
Oh, there was no real world application to my work, just feeding the academic machine money, I think.
My Thesis was titled "Visions of Death". It looked at how Art chose to depict human death, decay, the ephemerality of life, and the impermanence of even funerary objects.
