"the things you feel will not go away" Timelapse video of floral details. I've realised that my emotions are a cycle. Some times good, sometimes bad, always there. The things you feel will not go away. This is a page from the book I'm creating, the next page says "you learn to live with them". I think it's important to understand this, however gloomy it feels. You will not have an epiphany. Nothing will change. Yes, you fall in love with things and people and ideas but your feelings are still there. I think my emotions are regressing? I feel 15 again but not in a good way. I feel lost and scared. Just like i did back then. It's ok. I think. The writing is important. I usually, for my commercial pieces, spend a long time experimenting with typography, making it neat. But for this I used my own scrawl, because its me. As much as i try and change my handwriting its always the same. I've been researching Elizabeth Parkers sampler which is lines and lines of perfect, perfect red text. She did what I'm doing, she's committing her self and her thoughts to fabric but hers is done in such a beautiful, ordered way. My piece is far more reminiscent of Tracey Emins work, her autobiographical sketches. I'm not good at this! #embroidery #traceyemin #elizabethparker #feministtheory #feministembroidery #floral #feministart #timelapse #embroideryvideo #selfworth #mastersref #contemporaryart #comtemporarycraft #mastersdegree #handwriting (at Plymouth College of Art - PCA)
