"Self-reflection"
Self-portrait June 2024
There is a certain vulnerability when it comes to making art that is really uncomfortable. Maybe it is because I tend to stay inside my comfort zone, but I feel like I am constantly battling between feeling like I need to explain and justify the reasons behind my art, and not wanting to say anything that may be too revealing.
I have found that through creating art I have given myself an avenue to dissect pieces of myself that maybe aren't the prettiest, and use them to create. In a way I feel like creating art has given those emotions purpose, more than just rattling around in my head they can be acknowledged and then released.
