My mood before creating this piece:
I have a collage journal, and I tend to turn to this for a quick release of sorts. When I have no words to describe my feelings, I collage. I speak to myself by using the words and pictures of others. Before creating this collage, I felt a bit despondent and needed a subliminal reminder of my purpose.
During the Artwork
I have an arcane mind. Most time my own thoughts are my biggest enemy. While creating this collage, I felt I could retune my thoughts to converge with purpose and understanding. Control the doubt, and even create new thoughts. Most of all I could feel myself creating and restoring the “Journey of Me”.
After the Artwork
I felt cleansed and refreshed with innovative thoughts and ideas. I had clarity and certainty and could determine direction and what to feed my soul with.
What do you think the work shows about you?
Although I am an artist and have the ability to express and release what I feel, there are time when it feels like nothing flows. There is no want, and no motivation. There is no positivity, clarity or understanding. This activity shows that although I feel there is no more… a simple medium like a magazine with someone else’s pictures or words can help me discover the path and truth. This after all is the intention of another’s pictures or words – to help feel.
Why did I choose to create this particular piece?
I chose to collage because my emotions were erratic and chaotic. The outcome of the collage chose me. I choose collages because to me they are intuitive and speak to me.
