Narratives in Art.
Narratives in Art is a living archive of my practice, a space to document, process, and think out loud. Posts might follow a new work, a small observation, an exhibition, or a question I can't yet answer. There is no fixed agenda here, only an ongoing record of how the work develops, where it leads, and what it is slowly becoming.
“Belonging” by Amanda Thomson.
In this blog post, I reflect on Belonging by Amanda Thomson and its deep exploration of memory, place, and identity. Through my personal connection to the themes of the book, I explore how raw landscapes strip away labels, offering space for deeper self-discovery and emotional resonance that informs my artistic practice.
First Group Critique.
Participating in my first group critique session was both nerve-wracking and exhilarating as I shared my large-scale experimental piece for the first time. The feedback I received, from technical tips like using a stipple brush to deeper inspirations such as exploring Sohrab Sepehri’s work and Chinese Freehand brush techniques, left me with an unexpected burst of motivation. This experience marked a pivotal moment, moving me from guarded creation to confident exploration, and showed me that sharing my art amplifies its meaning rather than diminishes it.
