The fulfillment after creating something with my own two hands is what fuels me to make artwork. The process is more about taking advantage of a variety of media (everything from screen prints to image transfers of passages from novels and poems) without even knowing what I want the final piece to exactly look like. This dissolves the pressure of creating something that solely aesthetically pleases the viewer, but eventually results in a balance of weight, energy, and personal meaning.

Creating without knowing: do you practice it when you’re making art? Or do you consciously seek to recreate something that you see in your mind?
I think it’s really dependent upon your personality. I feel as though I always need a plan, so I really try and recreate what I’ve seen in my mind.
Awsome pictures – thanks for sharing. A new favourite!
I almost always create “without knowing.” It’s more fun for me that way, as the mystery is there until the very last second….
I’m always trying to capture something I’ve seen in my mind, like a flash of an image. Thank you for sharing her work!
Thank you for this amazing artist… in the last picture reminds me of Beatrice Alemagna somehow.
Thanks for sharing ladies! It’s interesting to see how one’s work is started — I believe that there are those who are paralyzed by the plain white sheet staring back at them (I’m one of them). I have a way to overcome this though — I tell myself it’s not perfection I’m seeking, and let my own hand dictate where I’m going.
Also, that’s much better than getting palm sweats from being too nervous, haha! 🙂
