Exquisite Corpse 11 sees unity of the idea. Odd that this would be the most consistent of all the images so far. Normal is relative here.

Part of this experiment of freeing myself with these posts is just commiting to the process. The next objective is to overcome fear of showing things and to learn from these past experiences. But the larger goal is to identify my voice.

This is both in art and writing. I still feel a little chained in the writing. Chained to a social politeness that isn’t really how I am in real life.

On some level this itself is a reaction to the reactionary nature of social media. I am balancing the crudeness of reactive thought. Avoiding the Facebook pitfalls.

On another level it is me being an insincere coward. Closeting some creature that I really am. This is why when I reread these posts I sometimes feel nothing.

I don’t necessarily love or hate them. They just feel obligatory. But it’s the process so I must continue in hopes that I can find that voice and speak honestly here.
