Change The Way You Look At Things And The Things You Look At Change

Writing inspired canvas

I created this canvas (excuse the terrible picture) because I wanted to relate it to writing and use words but not a quote, I wanted to do something different this time but inspiring too and what's more inspiring than nature? So I made a silhouette of a bird in flight out of newspaper and then rolled up newspaper sheets for the stem of the flower and created the flower out of circles of newspaper and screwed up inside the flower is a brightly coloured piece of paper-even though it isn't visible to an outsider, I like the idea of the contrast, it appears to be black and white but inside is a little ball of colour-hope.

I Wrote Love On My Arms

When I was in recovery from self harm after spending most of the year in a psychiatric hospital, I decided to do something that would remind me how far I have come and to give myself a little bit of love.

I have always cut the same arm, this has caused quite obvious scarring on my left arm, and for this reason I decided to get a tattoo of a heart on the back of my wrist to remind me to love myself and to hopefully draw peoples' eyes from my scars to my tattoo. A daily reminder to myself to stay strong.
