There are a lot of artists that inspired me, some who expressed it through words or even the actual that they did. Erin Hanson is a poet who did a series of poems based on society. One poem was about welcoming someone into society as if it was a cult. These rules you have to live by and the fact once you are in there is no going back. I based a piece on that, forming a more 3D piece based on the idea and meaning of that piece.
I really grew with the meaning towards my art piece a lot this year. Starting with this piece and continuing on. I never have thought so deeply in my life allowing myself to go to those places in my mind that i normally avoid because well yeah. I have never really reflected my state of mind on my art work. I think also i found that i am more into working with 3D art than just painting a pretty picture and calling it a day.
This is another piece that really made me go beyond my thinking comfort level. Erin Hanson hides her feelings in poems where as i hide it in my writing of my own. I layered what i never have said as the background then added onto it. She inspired me to use words beyond what most people use. I grew with meaning, i grew with using different images to form meaning. I even grew with myself understanding who i am as an artist.
