Series: Drink for Thought
Continuing this series- What was once "Little Reminders" is now "Drink for thought", which is drawings of beverages I had with the thoughts or lessons I had learned that day- getting myself out of dreadful burnout and just trying to get myself drawing again. Now, sharing that compassion and lesson with others who may need to hear this more than I did at the time. My project mainly focuses on self-compassion, which I have noticed many people, mostly artists, lack- I want to change that, remind ourselves that we are humans, that means we are not perfect, and that goes for our craft as well.
My project will be held in the hallways of NJCU's VAB (Visual Arts Building). Inspired by the art works displayed and my journey of accepting imperfection and self compassion, I wanted it to be visible in the halls, scattered around the school, preferably pinned, and share things I've learned and have this piece of compassion that folks can take with them- even put in their sketchbooks (which I usually do when something's cool). It's meant to inspire and have folks stop and think for a second, also a play on the phrase "Food for thought".
This project is going to continue as until I graduate, This journey of self compassion and learning that my art doesn't have to be perfect or incredible all the time, often leading to burnout and feeling out of place, is something that people are consistently experiencing, especially artist so this sires will continue with different variants of drinks I've had with things I've learned and tangible pieces of paper that people can take with them.
