a [white, middle-class, sahm] woman's effort to make art lol

Katy Hessel says, “Artists pinpoint moments of history through a uniquely expressive medium and allow us to make sense of a time. If we aren’t seeing art by a wide range of people, we aren’t really seeing society, history or culture as a whole...”

If the next few slides document moments in my history…it would be accurate to say art making for me is not turning ideas into beautiful wall-hangings. Art is the fragments, unfinished projects, tangents and incoming disruptions that create something that might one day become whole. The cracks, the blank stares, the stuff I think is ugly and unusable…that’s the good stuff no one wants to see.

I’m in a dark place. You might not see it in the pages, in the art…but it’s there. Click on the image and watch it move. Read fast or press pause.
