They want this heaviness to snuff our light out

As an artist, I feel everything. I feel what everyone else is feeling.

This heaviness is manufactured to snuff my light out. To destroy my hope.

As an artist I’m here to create hope. As an artist, I create pockets of hope. Safe spaces where we can create alternative worlds.

Safe spaces where we can be free, if only for a little while.

I’ve been forgetting my task. My service. I’ve been struggling under the heaviness of it all.

Do you feel it too? That heaviness?

I’ve been forgetting to take my medicine. That’s what artists can bring to the world. Moments of medicine.

Here feast on this image. Take a moment here, in this safe space, let down this heaviness. Breathe.

We be good, together.

Late night painting

First time working on canvas for about 3 years! It was good to play without pressure or to demand.

It was good to just let go and see what happened. Jumping int the unknown is getting easier with practice.

I found working on 2 canvases at once made them less precious, less important.

I suppose it’s that ‘not putting your eggs all in one basket’ mentality.

It was good to let go of control and the fear. I suppose this is the only time I chose ‘doing’ over {BEING}. When creativity is involved!
