My intention was to create this years’ portfolio on grief and the many emotions attached to it. In order to create these pieces, it was necessary to associate into the emotions attached to grief. Whilst it was easy to associate into the feelings, I found it difficult to disassociate and as a result found it necessary to change the direction of my work. I continued with the general theme of emotions and used watered down acrylic paint to create these pieces. I decided on this medium as I liked the fact that once the line was made it had a certain permanency. This meant I had to create these works with a certain flow and ease of mind, which in turn meant I could disassociate from these emotions as I created them on paper. I developed these pieces further by adding more tone and depth to them to give the emotions more dimension.
