This is the second piece in my mental disorder project. I photo transferred the pictures in this piece as well. I wanted to show the overwhelming sense that anxiety gives me through the colors and and layered pictures. The background has watercolor and acrylic paint. I scratched into the surface of the background to give the effect that anxiety gives me. I also put black paint on the corners of the transfers coming off of them and onto the red area, I did this because this shows how anxiety makes me feel. I choose red/purple for the background because these colors remind me of what it feels like to be anxious. I am currently working on my next piece which is addiction.

This series is about mental disorders and how I feel and relate to them. The first piece in the series is depression, which I personally struggle with. I wanted to create a series that shows how thesw disorders feel to me and in my experience what they are like. I am currently working on the second piece in the series which is anxiety.
Overall, the commentary I recieved for my feminist sculptures is positive. I thought people were going to be a bit more rude, as the piece doesn't fit in with social norms, but is still a very important conversation to have. I am glad people enjoyed my sculptures and I hope I was able to make them think harder about the subject.
These sketches were done in Raleigh, NC, and are all from observation. I played around with the use of watercolor in the sketch that overlooks the city. The watercolor gives the piece dimension and a sense of realness. I enjoyed using the watercolors, as it is a great way to practice layering techniques. The sketches of the boy and the table are also from observation. They were done in a coffee shop. The little boy was sitting in a chair near by and I was able to capture his figure but he left before I could draw details. I very much enjoyed urban sketching and I think its a great way to learn how to capture the moment.
