This week was a really tough week for me, both personally and at work. I’ve been feeling especially depressed recently and overwhelmed and I feel like it really affected me in my art-making as well. I ended up also re-visiting one of the collages I did last week, putting in the cutout from it on the top of it and I’m not really sure how I feel about it. This time next week I will be in Japan, and that thought really has been what is getting me through the week (as such it really controlled the imagery I used this week). If I can before I leave, I want to try revisiting the third picture- the concept of the torii gate in the hall I like, but the execution of it was poorly done.

I also found some cutouts from a picture and some paper that has drips of paint and ink on it and just thought the visuals on it were pretty interesting to look at.
Sorry to hear you’re having a tough time 🙁 it’ll be nice to get a change of scenery and get inspired in Japan! Awesome work!
How long will you be in Japan? I hope it is a restorative trip. I like the way these collages capture the sense of being in two places at once, that psychological experience.
I’m going to be away from April 7-15. I’m really looking forward to getting away from the stress at work and gain inspiration for my artwork
