I explore feminine identity through various 3D art forms.
in my brokenness,
my vessel cracked
andhurting,
I felt helpless
battered
squashed
waxen.
I tried to cover
my shape
with your
fashion
and expectations.
I searched
formyself
underneath it all.
what I found was my uniqueness.
oh what a long song-journey it was.
now I embrace
my floralform
fe-me-nine
complexities
humour
earthiness
andgold
there is
no-one
like me.

If you are wanting to be creative and to express your thoughts or feelings through visual images you can use anything at hand fig: 1 and 2, I used broken shards of crockery, bread dough and plastic; fig 3, I used a squashed soda can and paper collage; fig 4, 5 and 6, I carved images from blocks of soap; fig 7, is balloons and paper mache; fig 8, is a leaf and a twig spray-painted gold and fig 9, is wire and paper. You too can look around your home or surroundings for everyday objects to use in creating something that represents something else which you want to portray or express.
Maybe you would like to try it out; let me know how it goes. It doesn’t have to be about your body it could be how you feel about Covid 19 or any other thing that comes to mind.
Take care – Life is a gift !

Those are such unique and interesting ways of expressing your feelings. I think though, if you look at yourself in the picture your husband took, you will see how he and others see you. Beautiful and photogenic.

Thank you. That is so true often our uncomfortable feelings about ourselves are not true and others don’t see us that way. I know I can be my harshest critic. π
