Class 12th Boards in a nutshell:

Divided by streams, united by 🤡 English papers.

We're just expected to get amazing marks after 2 years of online studies. And to make the matter worse they're giving difficult exams. Wtf

Lydia Pettit

Combines painting and textiles

Enjoys the flow and loss of time that comes with embroidery, which is "different from the quick engagement of painting"

Pettit's online presence and artwork are very tied in the sense of how much she exposes herself, a sense of agency, has control over the way that she is seen

Works are about normalising the way she looks primarily for herself but also for others

Presenting herself in a very candid manner, no conscious effort to be sexy or appealing

Trying to have a one-to-one relationship with her body to really understand it

Grew up with an element of body dysmorphia so painting helped her become familiar with her whole body, e.g. her face, her breasts, the wrinkles on her hands

Influenced by horror, loves the escapism, creativity and metaphors in horror movies

Uses the iconography and language of horror to talk about experiences of mental illness, abuse, body shame etc.

artist research - shayna klee

shayna klee is a paris based visual artist and film maker. she mostly works in mixed media and also uses expandable foam!

i find shayna’s work quite visually pleasing and think the “vibe” is kind of similar to what i am doing at the moment. she creates these kind of “dreamscapes” in her mixed media paintings with her use of expandable foam and other found objects. you kind of just fall into them because they are so interesting.

i think looking at shayna klee is beneficial to me because it has shown me how another artist works with similar/the same materials :)
