Reclaimation
Someone once stuck a camera in my face and asked me what my art was about. I was super not prepared, so I came up with a response on the spot. It was...not good. So, to prep me for the future and give you a little insight, here's a quick rundown:
My art sits at the intersection between cottagecore and the macabre. I create because it's fun, even though it can be frustrating at times. I love picking up new media and playing around with it to see what I can make. Somehow, even though I've changed a lot as a person, I've stuck with art throughout my life. I think of it as way to reclaim a little bit of who I was before the reality of the world hit me smack dab in the face. And that's probably a good thing.
So I think I'm going to keep on going. After all, if you're here, I must be doing something right.
