This is such a surreal feeling. Art has been a whirlwind of creativity, emotion, inspiration over the course of the past two years - and I mean that 100%. And now it's over, and I feel flat.
I had my first IB exam yesterday, for Visual Arts, a 45 minute interview in which I was able to share the meaning, technique, artistic influences, cultural influences, etc, behind my artwork. It was such an incredible experience, and I'm surprised to say that I genuinely enjoyed the experience. I can't be certain how I went - but my examiner did tell me that he was 'moved' by my work- which is all I could have hoped for. I feel happy with the way it played out.
I quite literally walked out of my examination and didn't even notice - I didn't feel anything, until my IB co-ordinator asked me how it went, and I had the most absurd feeling - that resignated with me for the remainder of my day. The examination was a confronting experience - to speak about something that has been so internal, something that is a part of me that I am only beginning to share with the world, but it was such an empowering feeling. I am so happy and simultaneously, I am so sad.
One exam down, twelve to go. Not too long now. I'm excited.

060: Currently
Today I finished setting up my graduating show, and I am ridiculously happy with the way it's turned out. It's all very ethereal and what not, but I don't know want to give too much away. Art exam is on Saturday, I will post some images of the display after that!

058: I woke up and you were crying. I woke up and you were saying good love, passed it last night in a dream.
Sometimes I can sit for hours, without moving. And the fact that I can just sit there, zoned out from everything surrounding me, is something that really bothers me. I can be so wrapped up in my own head - I have enough sadness in my mind - enough thoughts, to keep me occupied for hours and hours. That’s something that really bothers me, I think I've become absorbed with the notion of existence.
