Insomniac

As I lay here unable to sleep as usual, I’m thinking of my first few weeks as a student doing my MFA. My head is full of all that I’ve been learning, my assignments, my upcoming solo exhibition and of course Covid19! Sometimes I feel my head will explode haha! To top it off I’m packing to move house – again! Aaaah what a crazy life! A roller coaster ride but I’m exactly where I need to be in my journey and that’s back at school doing my masters. It’s exactly what I needed to push my art forward – really take it to another level! So while we all wrap our heads around the Coronavirus and social distancing with the high likelihood of a lockdown (I’ve already started) I’ll try and get my head around writing this blog and talking about what my art means to me, my inspirations and what I want my art to say! In these uncertain times there’s A LOT on my mind but I want to return to the origin of my creativity and it’s self expression. It’s always been about me, my emotions, common ground with other women, equality and trying to bring about social change while still making beautiful images. My art is a visual diary of my emotion so let’s see where I go from here?? I have been doing loads of research and have so many ideas but I’ll talk about that in my next post and try to figure out how to add more images. Right now I need to get more sleep before more painting and packing. Good night (or good morning haha) x
