Purpose
โ๐๐ช๐ง๐ฅ๐ค๐จ๐ is a very special painting to me. It was an outlet painting, created as a release while I was preparing for my solo show, โ๐ผ๐ก๐๐๐๐ข๐ฎ.โ โฃ
โฃ
Although having prepared for several shows in the past, successfully, I still could not shake the fear that was pumping through my veins. I found myself worrying about whether anyone will show up, whether I will sell, and whether anyone will like the new + very different style of work I was creating. โฃ
โฃ
When my mind + emotions run wild, I know to STOP paintingโbecause my emotions will โchangeโ the energy + the final result of the painting. So I decided to paint on a new, blank canvas to help release my fears.โฃ
โฃ
๐๐ช๐ง๐ฅ๐ค๐จ๐ reflects on the purpose of my ego. The purpose of fear. Fear + ego, can at times cause so much pain, but they can also be the impetus for actionโfor creation. As an artist, where the words: โme,โ โmy,โ and โI,โ constantly come up when discussing my work. Keeping my ego in check can be difficult. My art, is me. My work feels so revealing and vulnerableโeven mysterious to myself. If someone loves my work, I feel like they love me. If someone critiques my work, it feels like they are critiquing my soul. โฃ
โฃ
To exhibit work is exhilarating, rewarding, and extremely frightening. ๐๐ช๐ง๐ฅ๐ค๐จ๐ was my way of working through my fear so that I can continue to do the work I feel I was created for.โโฃ
