Creative #3: Collage

I went through at least 15 different magazines to find the perfect images to illustrate my…thoughts.

The one above is my quirky view on church and God in my life. This image feels torn to me. The sky is ominous while the enlightened figure floats on the left. The little girl could be viewed as running away from the church or running towards the skylift to…heaven.

I just wanted to illustrate my desire to love God, but my uneasiness regarding the church.

Creative #1: I Get Myself Into Trouble [Self-Portraits]

Jerry wanted us to explore a new take on self-portraits. I immediately thought of depicting some of my attributes that get me into trouble. 😉

My mouth gets me into trouble. I talk often and loudly. I cuss like a sailor. I gossip. I enjoy to over-eat.

Even with a missing ear, I can still hear my own voice in my head. Thought never digresses.

I care about my appearance. Probably too much.

I am constantly checking other people out–what they wear, how they walk, the way they talk. This image really comes down to two things for myself: judgement and attraction.

This is not a series of things I want to fix about myself. These are things that make me who I am.
