It is interesting. I like the idea of giving one's unhappiness a face. Especially when it acts as its own entity, completely independent from what you know is your own agency. There's something to be said for the process of creating a partition in one's mind. Distinguishing the parts from one another. As complexly they may be interwoven, they still operate with some independence. There is localization of cognitions.
I've been telling myself that I'll do art. Now I think I have a project that can give that nebulous ambition some direction. I will give form to the parts of me that I can't stand, the parts of me that I love, and the miscellaneous parts of me that I feel deserve some kind of shout-out.
So I'll do a little reading, organize my materials, then get started on the easy stuff. I'll work my way up to the more nuanced and difficult parts of this project as I develop a way to think about and do this internal analysis. Now that I've settled into my new home, I'm regaining some of my old skill at reading myself.
I have two hopes for this:
*Develop some sort of voice in visual art.
*Overcome my... feelings.
