“There is no chance, no destiny, no fate, that can circumvent or hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul.” - Ella Wheeler Wilcox

People tell us who they are if we are open to see it. They tell us how they see us if we are actually listening. Today I woke inspired as though I finally understand the truth behind these details of my life's work.
It is said 'it’s just one life' but feels much more, as though they’ve each been pieced out separately then layered atop one another. Now looking at my art, at these stories I’m telling, I realize they’re a documentation of these different lives. A reflection not just of how I interpret but how the world might. I’ve always been the introvert watching the world from an invisible line balanced somewhere between myself and the archaic box of defined roles society chose without my consent. I am the observer studying the manner in which people interact, how does that behavior change in different company or within the mass energy of a space., I’m drawn to the truth behind the facade, the stories people are afraid to tell., the story behind the trauma. I'm drawn to the outcasts, the misfits, the things against the grain of accepted mainstream social norms. My work is as eclectic in style as I am; A walking contradiction that lives and sees outside the box. April 3rd, 2021 |
