About the Item

This painting is called October because it was completed in October 2021. It is expressive in style and also brings together clippings from my journals, one of my drawings of a Scotland map and also writings, relating to how I felt at the time of painting. I love to journal and sketch and used previous material I had done in October 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020. I always think there is a reason why you do something, however I had no idea in October 2021 that I would be drawing on work and writing that I had done over the previous years. Despite being completed in 2021, this work includes references to at least four years of my life. I painted this painting without thought of the final outcome and painted intuitively without fear. In the work there are references to songs that I was listening to and people that have had an impact on my life. This includes reference to an artist called Cy Twombly. I studied his work while I was at school and love the fact that I have made reference to him in an artwork that I created years after school.
