For those asking about the thinking behind artwork - I'm just going to leave this little write up here and hope you find it :) There has been a sort of tearing away from the self I have grown to know over the years...
Breaking away from my more recent work, this piece marks a departure as well as a development within my life.
Making mistakes, as well as coming to terms with those mistakes, is something with which I have always struggled. It reflects in my work that I try to maintain control over as much of my practice and personal life as possible.
But while striving for perfection, or just general people pleasing is motivating and can feel good, feeling bound by this standard can be more like a crutch or defence mechanism than an authentic way of being.
This piece considers the burden of shame, my own practice of composure and ultimately, the process of dismantling that composure and being seen; flaws and all. I hope you enjoy it.
