who am I ? In asking who we become what
2012-07-29
It has been a while since I have blogged about what is going on in my world.The title of my blog is a question that is frequently asked and even if we don't voice the question we have definitely thought about it.
This is an introduction to new pieces I have been working on. These new works are exploration of identity and the things we do to our facade in our quest for self...

I would love to hear your comments on identity and how it is created.

"It is important to give voice to the shadow,to allow it expression and presence,its just the other side of who we are."(Jung)
Before i stumbled upon the writings of Carl Jung that addresses the shadow, i was creating drawings that address childhood issues as it relates to my existence within a family. Most of the sketches ivolved shadows that poped up in dreams.It is still a puzzle as to how the mind works in dreams.

Thank you for checking out my artwork. Yours is beautifully executed - and very introspective. I love the color and drawing style. Keep on exploring faces - you do it well.

Well, I am glad to know that you have passed out from such a reputable college. You should be proud as you are a graduate from Edna Manley College. I guess the art forms that you have depicted here really show the skill inside you. By the way, I guess you are more concentrating on identity exploration, unconscious, psychics and alienation. That being the case, I think you should go for further studies about this and refer more books related with the above topics as well!headphones
