Reset


So as things move along this summer and I work out myself through my work, I'm hoping to dice into the core of why I make work. 

My primary problem is that I tend to sabotage myself by doing everything at once usually resulting in me and my work losing focus; it all ends up working against itself and keeps me scattered.

I'm currently super frustrated with myself because of this... But I know that ill get to where I want. 


Currently I've been exploring and researching ideas looking at care, nurturing, honesty, and more but believe I  need to simplify even those ideas and find their core.

I may be right or wrong, but currently looking into why I make art =

I make art because i want to empower people from within themselves

I went into grad school two years ago knowing this but have somehow allowed myself to forget. It's such a simple idea that I layered with too much over time and lost sight. I haven't been honest to myself and have lost sight of what resonates to me.

In terms of what you have been seeing on the blog I've been experimenting with what nurturing is (the pug/anatomy videos) as well as honesty and play (the ones of me acting). 

These ideas ill continue to touch on but I am doing a mental reset to get back to what I truly wish to achieve. I'm optimistically sad what time has done to me while at the same time looking forward to where I lead next. 

Currently I am diving heavily into Mr. Fred Rogers' life and philosophies. I am realizing more and more how great it is to be myself and how great everyone else is for who they are as forms of belief and intent. 

It's my time to peel the onion back.
