Submissions

Hi all! 

So I’m exploring the topic of homophobia/LGBT+ life in the second half of my year 12 Visual Art Folio and was going to do some pages using other people’s (and my own) experiences and feelings (such as internalized homophobia towards myself, etc) as inspiration for illustrations/photography. I’ve also been doing some portraits of LGBT+ people and couples and would love to have some more reference photos. So if you would like to send me your stories, feelings, or portrait photos of you or you and your partner, I would love the help! Just let me know if you would like to see the final result (if I don’t give up in frustration at my minimal skills) 

Thanks, and please signal boost,

-The Confused Ginger

Just liked this Pin: Ana Teresa Barboza (previously) produces embroidered landscapes with wandering streams that break the fourth wall, jumping off their 2D structures and cascading to the floor in waterfalls of blues and greens. The remaining landscape Barboza keeps in black and white, focusing the viewer's ey http://ift.tt/1TxcyIg

"Personified Landscape"

This video shows the process of me doing this painting from start to finish! Hope you enjoy!

Apologies for the bad quality image.. It was the best I could do.

A bit about this... 

This year I have explored the theme of 'illness' though my artwork. This is very personal for me because I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. In this piece it shows  the landscape to be a metaphor for the human body, incorporating the idea that nature and human beings are together, showing the struggle in parts of the landscape itself, as well as showing hope.

"Held Down"

This painting was done earlier in the year for my year 12 art piece. It explores the effects my chronic fatigue has on me: feeling heavy and weighed down, physically and mentally and how it changes how my brain seems to work.

The middle figure is how the outer world sees me looking tired, but other than that reasonably well. The face on the right shows a partially blurred out face, and this is a representation on what it's like inside: foggy, not thinking straight, unable to put thoughts together. And finally the arm and body being held down, also touching on that sense of being held down and being vulnerable.
