A painting I did as a trompe l'oeil sheet of lined paper. When art is too hard and you don't know how to feel about your future.

Idea 1 (from "My Ideas are Rubbish" series)
2016
oil on sheet metal
27 x 21 cm

Part of a new series that I just began exploring. I've never really painted this scale before, and it was very challenging to do it. This series comes as a response to conceptual art and serves as a commentary on the struggle for artists to find 'good ideas' to explore in art. The inspiration for this series comes from the process of drawing, sketching or writing down ideas on lined paper and then scrunching it all up just to throw it in the garbage bin. This cycle of art making has been really important for me because I've been feeling like every idea that I come up with lately ends up just being discarded and forgotten.
