Winter 2009
Watercolour
It's an interesting challenge to only use red and still convey the emotions. I want to do a show where the theme is paintings in red, white, and black someday soon.
People often expect me to fit in these roles they create in their head for me to play, and when they get bored or I fail to meet expectations, I am often discarded like a doll that is no longer a child's favourite. So I smile and say it's fine.
But it's not fine. I'm so much more than some child's play thing. I long for that feeling of unconditional love- not the love of a child, but the love of a parent. But for now, I'm just too much, too heavy a burden.
"I was a heavy heart to carry
My feet dragged across the ground
And he took me to the river
Where he slowly let me drown..."
