Reflections

What do you see?

A self portrait, to me, is a reaction to something happening in the artist's life at the time. 
It's a reaction to something that needs to be expressed, brought out into the open; leaving things to fester is a bad idea.

I'm no different. I can talk, I can write, I can post, I can blog, and these are all valid ways to express myself. 

I can also paint, and sometimes an image is the best way to express the emotion or display the reaction to whatever it is that has created the need for expression in the first place. (hmm, reading that back it sounds a bit confusing - at least I know what I mean, I suppose.)

This is me, fitting into the squares that others have imagined for me. Is it my fault that they are disappointed when a fully fledged and functioning grown woman doesn't fit neatly into all those little boxes?

Because I don't fit. And I'm not sorry.

So there. Hmpf.

 . . . lol :)

I acknowledge the Traditional Owners and First People of the land on which I stand, who are collectively known as the Southern Yamatji People. I pay my respects to the Elders past, present and future, for they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and the hopes of the Southern Yamatji People.
I would also like to specifically acknowledge the Naaguja and Wilunya people from amongst the collective group of Southern Yamatji People and pay my respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. The Naaguja and Wilunya Peoples are the Traditional Owners and First People of the place I have made my home and where I make my art.
