Words are an important part of how I develop an artwork. For my current series on anxiety, I wanted to use them in a more overt way. The challenge was “how?”. During a night when I was having trouble falling asleep due to some anxiety, I had a bit of a eureka moment. A quick search and I thought I could possibly use stencils and paper. Then to decide on the words. I found if I tried to write down exactly what I was anxious about, the ideas would disappear. I decided to think more in generalities. I believe this will also result in the artwork being more universal.
