Art-Less

I'm not gifted when it comes to visual arts. I love to write, I enjoy it and sometimes I produce pieces that I'm quite impressed with. But when it comes to art I've created ... well, it's not so fantastic. I did art in high school and only just scraped through with passes. I hated it. Probably didn't help that I wasn't a big fan of my teacher either. But for my final piece of assessment - I did it the night before and received a B or B+. I was stoked and it now hangs above my bed in my room.

"Euphoria"

Yeah, I called it Euphoria. I don't really know what bulltwang I came up with about how I created it. I made it by purchasing those tomato sauce squeezie bottles, filling them with paint and going crazy. I used tissue paper for texture and as I made a point of keeping the warm colours together vs. the colder ones. It came out looking like fire and nature were at a meeting point and because I loved all the colours, I ended up thinking of a euphoric place to escape to ... and thus created something that both surprised and impressed me haha. Nice.

Another piece of art I created, well. It's not really art. It's a book I have, an un-used visual diary that I put in all my fondest memories, my darkest moments, my break-ups, the people I've met that have changed my life ... gay kinda, but awesome to pick up and read once a year. It's weird ... i documented my season in Canada, the boys that broke my heart, the first dress I bought ... It's gonna be hilarious to read in 10 years haha.

Yeah that's just a snippet, but when I think about it - it is art. Anything can be art right? That's the beauty of it.
