Working Out Stress
|
Posted by Jenn Greenleaf May 5, 2009 |
I’m going to through a bit of an unexpected stressful situation in my life right now, so I’m thinking that working through that with art is going to be my best option. I’m thinking:
- Art journal pages
- An altered book project (well, not the whole thing – but some pages in an altered book)
I’m thinking layered and messy collage filled with bold script in black ink. I’m thinking spreads with acrylic paints (browns, blacks, beige) and walnut distress ink. I’m thinking of rubber stamping with white acrylic paint and bold alpha letters.
As you can see, my mind is a whirl. I need to unravel what is knotted, sort through what is cluttered, and free what is forbidden. I need to work through the stress with a mess. I need to find sanity in what makes absolutely no sense at all.
It’ll work.
