This work was made on a wooden canvas and painted with oil sticks. I remember getting the oil sticks from my art shed; and I remember how in like 3 days they were all run out. A lot of these works were made with the remaining supplies- I consider that to be a fun challenge- as it is more abstract and using your creativity/ resources instead of having a specific vision for your work- you just go with the flow.

Artwork Description

I am very much Influenced by the artist Yayio Kusama- I make atwork out of pain and trauma, I make about three of these a day and spend 3-7 hours a day making art- specifically abstract flowers and leaves. I was misdiagnosed with a psychotic illness and I am left with a level of pain and trauma most people couldn’t comprehend. Art is the way I cope; I am in the middle of making work for a solo show which I could hopefully get done in three months. I’ve only started making work two months ago- but I’m painting with such a intense frequency that most nerotypical people couldn’t comprehend- I have more then enough work from all the art I made before I couldn’t make work for two years due to trauma- but now I’m solely focused on making a solo show.
I hope you appreciate this- it’s been a very long time since I have uploaded work and I hope you like it because I’m personally conflicted about the price- before I only priced my works slightly higher then all the materials and not even accounting the time it took to make it- but now I know my art is worth more then I realised.

The photograph was taken using a stop motion camera and a torchlight, playing with light. The image was taken on a rock in a forest in brisbane, and the model in the image is me.

I made these works using large text that would cover the canvas and glued them onto a foam sheet and cut out the letters to make stencils. I had to measure the text size to the size I would want them to be on the canvas, then outlined the stencils with a pencil and painted the outline in white. Originally the artwork was going to tay simply painted, but I have a passion for embroidery from a very young age and I felt the work would have more emphasis if I embroidered all the words and focused on the background as well. The thread I used for the words is messy and all encompassing- it’s a peice that shows me as an artist, someone who never gives up even when the embrodiery causes pain.

I used water colour pencils on a canvas peice of paper, adding more and more colour blocks until it filled the page completely
