Thank you so much for your comments on Self: Agony. I suppose I should have expected so many comments on body-image frustration given my recent commentaries on exactly that!
But that was not at all what the image was about when I created it. My frustration, or agony, was with using myself as my art and the two challenges inherent in that task - fitting myself into the art I wanted create, and "fitting" my art to my own body and myself.
I use my own life experiences, my emotions, and my perceptions to create the art you see on this account. And I use my body as the subject of that art. Sometimes, the challenge is too great. There are images I would like to make, but I am unable to do so given the limitations of my resources. Sometimes, I do not have the time. Sometimes, my body cannot be used to successfully convey what I want. At other times, I simply don't have the skills to create the image I have in mind.
When I saw the image, I knew there would be a variety of interpretations. And that is something that often brings me great joy in my art. I love to hear what others see and feel as a result of viewing my work, how my work taps into the humanity that exists in us all. Art can simply be beautiful and no more, but it can also evoke, provoke, and invoke. And the artist only has a certain degree of control over what the viewer will feel. That is, in part, the beauty of art.
PS: My Feature Journals will be moved to my Shoutboard after a new journal is posted. The old journals will also remain in the previous journal archive for viewing. Please continue sending links! I truly want to celebrate the diversity of beauty!
My next journal will likely be Lovely Bold: Fine Art Erotica followed by The Erotic Flower: The Most Intimate Female Form. I am still looking for images for the Erogenous Zones journal features. See my Future Feature Journals journal for details: [link]
