Creating in a new way - Abyss
"Abyss", September 2018
When I get stuck and I’m not feeling creative one of the things I do is look back on work I made in the past. I look for images that excite me and ones I really enjoyed creating. Doing this has led me in a new direction that I am really excited about.
All the images that jumped out to me had one thing in common. I created the space.
The very first image I created when I began this journey involved me creating a space out of a box and then editing myself into it. I’ve come a long way since I created that image, but the love for creating something with my hands hasn’t faded.
Creating in a new way can be scary and I know I have a lot to learn, but I loved every moment of creating this image!
You can see how I created this space below.
