What am I doing here

I’m going through a bit of an awakening of sorts with regards to social media so I’m starting a blog to feel a sense of control over my practice. I’ve been a professional artist for the better part of a decade and the entire time, the way I’ve shared the bulk of my work, has been on social media. Now, I find myself in a strange position of creating a body of work that centres around the idea of how nefarious social media is. I’m biting the hand that feeds me. While I’m not exactly leaving social media, I am recognizing its’ limitations and questioning if it’s the right place for me.

I don’t know exactly what this blog will look like as it evolves but for now I want to use it to share my process. I want to show you my messy studio and my failures and my half-finished art. I want to tell you about my ideas and why I’m creating what I’m creating. I want to muse about the nature of art and human nature and I want to do all of this outside of social media.

It’s entirely possible that no one will read this but I need to put it somewhere.
