A key part of my art practice is writing my intentions on the canvas before I begin. For this painting, I was in such a space of self doubt. I wasn’t in the best place mentally, and while something I try to hold on to is that I’ve survived 100% of my bad days so far, it still can feel daunting and like maybe this time it’ll all be too much.
So my intention for this painting was the attempted self reassurance, of I KNOW I CAN GET THROUGH THIS. Maybe? Or maybe if I say it enough times to myself it will become true. Either way I embarked on this piece and found that as I built it up layer by layer I became more sure of that conviction. I tried a few new techniques with this one, for one I used this ‘blended fibres’ texture paste for the base, which I absolutely adore the effect of.
The paint has a lot of movement, and for my that perfectly symbolises me moving through uncertain times into spring, and calmer days.
