2014 — September

Art is always in some way about the artist, at least a little bit, no matter what anyone says.

By the time my fourth month of the art journal challenge rolled around, I was feeling comfortable enough to start consciously making art about myself.

Sometimes it was through a straightforward visual montage.

Sometimes it was a determined attempt to capture an internal self-portrait.

I don't know if I “learned” about myself at the time from making these spreads, at least not in the classic sense of having any sort of breakthroughs. But I do know these were about the most joyful pages to make, and were my favorites instantly.
