Sickness

It's been a while since I last posted. The fact that I'm now back at work, after the school's Summer holidays, is likely related. What also may be related is the fact that in just under 3 weeks its my wedding and my brain is progressively turning to cottage cheese!!!

I've been making things for the wedding  like placecards and favour bag/boxes (I'll post pictures on here later). Not really arty, more crafty... I suppose there is still creativity involved.

Now I'm ill! Sick! My chest hurts and I can't stop coughing. However, being under the weather has inspired my latest piece of artwork appropriately titled: Sickness.

I used green and yellow ink and my own particular abstract style.

representing

A lot of people ask what the symbols in my artwork represent. Sometimes they don't really represent anything but just kind of grew organically as I drew them; sometimes they represent an idea or an animal , and sometimes they represent people, as in this piece if artwork.

When drawing this I'm representing a situation and was very focused throughout the whole process. I definitely feel that expressing myself artistically kind of gets those emotions and thoughts out of me so I can leave them behind and move on.
