Making to see. Repetition without meaning. Thoughts arrive after the marks.
Daily practice. Trying.
Mixed media on whatever’s nearby.

Part of my ongoing series exploring repetition, memory, and the slow cycle of depression.
I keep returning to the same forms, not to find something new, but to see how meaning shifts as I change.
Some things only make sense after you’ve lived with them long enough.

I think depression can be a type of greed. Nothing is ever enough.

Some thoughts after the critique at OAM.
Art is work, and I want to treat it professionally.
Sometimes I hide my insecurity/incompidance inside chaos.

I heard someone on a podcast say that humans exist to create meaning.
Art is work, and work is art. Art becomes the most abstract kind of work and the most representational expression of meaning.

Just creating things this morning with some coffee. I’ve been thinking about how much I love art that feels simple on the surface—big color fields, simple shapes, the beauty of restraint. That kind of art has always felt powerful to me.

writing about art I think I’ve stumbled onto some new idea/process/theory, I Google it and realizeit’s not new at all. & there’s this mix of feelings sad that it’s not original, but also a little impressed that I found my way to something other people have already worked through What's that called?

I started this by writing the same phrases over and over until they disappeared, then added shapes until something finally felt meaningful. I’m trying to let the work emerge on its own instead of forcing a message.

Experimenting with ink, rubbing alcohol, and varnish to build up/destroy layers. I really like where it landed, it doesn’t mean anything, and that’s kind of the point.
Any feedback would be appreciated.

Just a fragment from a larger piece I’ve been sitting with for a while. I kept repeating the same phrase until it disappeared—layer after layer, it became something else. Trying to stay inside the process, not the outcome.

Making art feels like drowning in sand—slow, heavy, impossible to move. But it’s still the only thing I want to do.

Memory Shapes
Memory Shapes explores depression, memory, and repetition as ways of rebuilding meaning. Layers of torn paper and paint echo the struggle to feel, heal, and find beauty in what remains unresolved.

some mornings feel like i’m trapped in a block of gel—everything’s slow and distorted. but even when it feels like i’m not moving, i know the struggle itself is still progress.

feeling good lately. it’s strange—when i feel good, it’s harder to reach the part of me that makes art. trying to let that go and just enjoy making shapes.
