This piece is a collage self portrait made of crochet fiber arts, acrylic paint, cards and cds.
They're all items that I feel define me and the things I love in this life. I've recently fallen in love with crocheting. When I created this in 2024, it had only been around six months whe I began. Now, it has truly changed my life and my way of art making. This to the point that i began questioning my major decision and possibly considering textiles at RISD.
The CDs come from an old friend. Im not sure if I could consider us friends anymore. But they make up my hair and my shield. Music at the time also was my way of bonding with my friends. We had vinyl nights and would listen to our favourite albums over and over again. D4vd was one of our favourites, now not so much...
Paint is my one true love since childhood and the cards are tarot that I enjoy exploring. Anyway, if you read this entire thing you are really dedicated. Thanks for listening.
