This project has allowed me to explore myself in a way that's quite different than I usually would. It has made me question why, In the beginning, I was feeling lost and through focusing that feeling into my work and research, has allowed me to explore how I work when vulnerable. I've realized being vulnerable in a lost way is ok because it can inspire so much if channeled and focused correctly. I've discovered things I never knew to be true or real and have opened my eyes to some really beautiful ways of using a 'weakness' to my advantage. I ended this time with an experiment instead of a shoot plan - I've never approached my work in that way. I stepped away from the internet and my usual forms of creativity and directed it towards another creative path of painting with ink. I would challenge myself by dipping the brush once until the ink ran out, ending the piece. This therapeutic process inspired my final idea and produced some beautifully haunting visual work that I'm very fond of. I see my final as a metaphorical map - the ink lines being the veins of roads with dead ends. It's a messy abstraction that's angry and distorted like the music of Lorn's. When someone looks at my final piece I want them to wonder what they're looking at and question what the piece is about. I want them to be confused as much as I was at the start of this journey.  I know what this is about, but they do not - unless they too, feel the way I felt.

This project has opened my eyes to using what I feel as ammo. You can create beautiful work using emotions and feelings. There have been plenty of times during my time as an artist where there was just no feeling behind the work - and it showed.
