Area Rug
Permanent marker and A conversation I didn't want to have, on Reclaimed Cardboard

A void in the room
where a heart should be
eating away at the floor
board by board

The roses, the roses
Watch for their thorns
My love
They will bite

Weeds without a purpose
Purpose only found in being
known

Catch them before they
Run away

Build the wall
Knock it down again
I was never taught how to hold
a hammer

Maybe it was more of a solidified thought than I had anticipated.

What type of artist are you trying to be in the world??
I've been noticing while I jump back into Instagram that there are the artists that are making art because they have to do something, inside of them says they have to and they're the artists who are making art for the focus of reproduction of putting it out there to as many people as they can.

I think that's the difference between the folks who succeed with creating brands and the folks that need to step back from social media during their process.

Both types of artists are important. Hands down because we need art everywhere in the world.

The problem comes when the different types of artists are trying to be the other type of artist. We need both. So how do we make art as our authentic selves in this world where capitalism really pushes us to be opposite than we are?

And maybe the biggest question here is;
what does succeeding as an artist look like to you?

Precursors to my finals project in progress for Drawing 2 at

Unfinished, but not forever

Multimedia on found paper

I've been grappling with these internal negative feelings that I've been traveling with forever. Maybe, if I can give those feelings a voice, we'll both be better understood.
