Recently I hung up some framed prints at a local art gallery for a 2 month long residency and couldn’t help but to look around at all the incredible original artwork for sale and compare my pieces which left a sinking feeling I can only describe as imposter syndrome. That night, I decided that I could no longer sell my prints primarily if I wanted to make a living as an artist, let alone being taken seriously doing so.
The reason I took so heavily to 2D art in the first place was due to the ease of reproduction, making it so I could share my work while being able to keep the original - a feature important to me as my art contains sentimental value much higher than any price tag could reach. However, this leaves a fairly strict cap on how much I could realistically make and how much wall space both my apartment and my parents’ house had available to house each 1st edition. For the next 4 days in a bit of a frazzled state, I created 3 new upcycled assemblage pieces in addition to updating 3 more, special for the residency at RemainReal Fine Art gallery. I’d like to dedicate this feat to procrastination fueled pressure and L-Theanine for balancing out the stress associated. Seeing them all up in context with the other Artists in residency really restored my faith and confidence in my abilities. Not only was I proud of what I had created in such a short amount of time, but I think I might’ve found a new medium to dive head first into! See them here under the UPCYCLED ASSEMBLAGE category!
