cyanotype prints, collage, stamping, screen printing, monotype printing, geli-plate print, walnut and ink stain
Recently I’ve drawn a lot of inspiration from frustration and overall discontentment. Bathrooms are typically a private place where one may recollect themselves, even if that means scribbling a penis on a wall. Yet “vandalism” can be some of the most beautiful art, in my opinion. It’s so raw and honest. The artists’ typically try to remain anonymous, since its technically illegal, and that adds an extra sense of intimacy to words scribbled in the most random of places. After personal observation of graffiti and studying street artists, I began doodling or writing down anything that made me feel some form of emotion in their likeness. By doing so, it almost reset my outlook on the ‘meaningless’ details in everyday life. For example, arguing with a boyfriend provokes a numerous amount of emotions- yet when I was doodling, majority of the page was covered in abstract or literal dicks. Imagery of other bad situations (varying in intensity) such as brushing your teeth with orange juice, authorities abusing power, misogyny, and pressure to conform are also present.
