Dear Diary

Dear Diary is an exploration into journal keeping through visual art, achieved in a three week residency with Metro arts. My emotions and headspace have been documented each day over 20 days through painting and sculpture. The project is an emotive and vulnerable view of the daily ebbs of flows of emotions we travel through inwardly. Created in an especially tumultuous time, the body of work encapsulates a time of frustration and confusion, longing for smoother days. In a time where I feel these emotions are quite common in such an unsettling setting, this open ‘book’ of emotions was created in hopes to inspire vulnerable conversation and opens the invitation to create art for the therapeutic purposes of processing your emotions.
