Artist statement

So, after some class brainstorming I have finally come up with titles for my paintings, yay. It's hard to think of them with the titles but that's probably because I've become used to referring to them as angry style painting and lots of scars on big board painting. Lol. (Which weren't entirely suitable :p) my small board with the big scab on it is called 'wound', the big board with lots of scars is called 'healing' and the angry face is called 'hurt'. If I do a big scab on another big board I will call it scarred. The series is called scar.

And here is my artist statement to go with them at the exhibition.

My 'Scar' series has been an exploration of paint and style to create a mood and form of expression for past events and emotions in my life, which people can reflect on in their own lives. It draws a connection between the mental and physical scars people receive through their lives, and more directly reflects on moments in my life which have left a lasting impact. Each scar is a physical reminder of a memory or mistake, some more vivid and painful to recall than others. Other memories of mental pain have left scars which are slowly healing in my mind.

This is 101 words, the limit is 100 so I think it will do. Any constructive criticism is appreciated, but it's getting typed up this arvo anyway so don't do it if it's already too late for me to change anything!!
