i have found i have a somewhat subconscious personal symbology that appears in all of my artwork and i often wonder how much others have the same. A seemingly random reocurring symbol in my work can hold a long history of thoughts and feelings, that i never express in words, but it is there in my art. i tag things as "misc" as in "there is no named character here, not yet at least" but inside of these conceptual pictures is pieces of myself and my life, regardless
this is to say, i don't often draw things for no reason. sometimes the reason is silly! but i think everything has meaning :-)
#nonart#i recently spoke with someone about art who expressed joy in art that 'had no meaning' and was 'abstract for the sake of abstraction'#and the art in question they showed me was very much.. not that!#the interpretation of art is something i hold a lot of passion for and i respect their read of the work in question but i disagree#i do think pieces of art that exist to not mean anything are very interesting. moreso in that well That is a meaning in itself#i dont personally make art like this but i admire artists who make work in protest of high class hashtag Deep work etc i respect it#im getting off track here though#hello everybuddy#maybe i should make a talking blog#anyway: spikes coming out of the body in my artwork usually symbolizes bodily abnormalities that cause chronic pain#a visualizer of a disability in a way that is more emotional than literal for me
