My, let’s call it, mantra has been to learn and develop through practice. It helps me be productive and not stuck at the “what to draw phase”. Rather, it matters less what I draw and more that I’m practicing a skill through drawing. This is how this collection grew, this is how a couple of sketches in between “actual artworks” became my first solo collection, launched on my own. Living in Barbados for a couple of months, where the humidity softens my paper and the fan rolls my pencils straight off the table, I needed to simplify. I needed to simplify my life as clothes became too hot and groceries became unreliable (no mangos this week, no coffee next week) and simplify my work. Adapt.
Feeling jaded and somewhat uncreative
