Self care and craft

As I experiment and develop my work I find myself drawn to creating imagery with physical techniques rather than digital methods. I have been open to exploring new methods and returning to old techniques that I have previously worked with.

My ethos throughout this project is to stray away from the dangers of the internet where users can feel inadequate due to comparison. Therefore, creating physical imagery which have a craft aesthetic will suit this project.

This week I have enjoyed spending time creating lino prints and found a new love for craft. This helps me not to feel overwhelmed by the extensity of the internet and gives me time to enjoy creating with my hands. It made me realise that this is a form of self care which I am promoting throughout my project.

I will continue to invest in these techniques whilst researching similar aesthetics to draw inspiration from.
