Hey! im doing a project for school where i write a short portion about an artist and attempt to recreate one of their paintings and i was hoping to do you if your ok with it and if you were willing to answer a few quick questions such as when your birthday is, where your from and what you would say your art style is?

i have one condition to recreating my paintings is that you have to show me after youre done!!! thank you for asking before you did so thats sweet.

im a libra, based in chicago, and for my style id say that hmmmm… im very much inspired by surrealism. keep me updated on your project for sure!

i truuuuly love your piece pattern recognition girl final moments 🖤 i’m curious, what does pattern recognition mean to you in this context? i consider myself a pattern recognition girl and i really relate to the feeling emanating from the piece, in a way i’m not really sure how to put into words. would love to hear about your inspiration ♡

thank you for the kind words<3 and i really appreciate your resonance with her.

she was one hundred million percent based on my experience being a kid. my imagination was quite cruel to me. walls, floors, objects, anything mundane would come alive in my mind. a lot of the time i would interpret my surroundings as out to get me. i think its a pretty normal experience children have, but thats what the story was about on a literal level.

i was trying to use that framework to express the idea of radical acceptance ive had to develop when it comes to my mental illness lol. and to a certain extent what it means to succumb to the difficulties that come from having mental illness. the rejection she faces at the hands of both the world and her own mind begins to devour her... this both frightens and fascinates pattern recognition girl. as hard as she tries to avoid it, everything working against her leads to her to a place where she is completely consumed by her illness. but the realization that this is something she cant help but live with, is the cause of her big smile at the end of her story. pattern girl embraces the idea of accepting the things she cannot change with how she experiences the world. she also finds that her perspective, as scary as it might be for her at times, can reveal to her beauty that others cant recognize. she comes to terms with her situation, and in many cases that can be freeing.

I would love to hear some different interpretations of pattern girl! just what she means to you perhaps :P
