I have been thinking about my relationship with art making a lot lately, over the years I have leaned very far into the solitude of it, the isolation of it, the mountain of alone time I have to confront in order to make things.
It is a pendulum, it can feel like a curse, a burden, and at times extremely lonely. While in the next moment, it can become such a tender beauty, something so personal, and a joy I will always have the ability to tap into no matter my circumstance.
Though art has isolated me in seasons, art has also brought me in connection with every person I know, and it’s helped me knit such a vibrant colorful community of supportive, honest weirdos.
Sometimes I forget that I’m part of it.
Truly, it has given me everything, held me when I needed comfort the most and has helped me find the strength to continue searching for a future I’m hopeful for.
