We wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment
I have wanted to travel for a while now and my sister
suggested that I do the Camino. I
started researching and thought that this would be a mind blowing
experience!! I believe in positive
affirmations and came up with the idea to make a visual board artwork to
manifest these thoughts.
I came across some old stamps that my dad collected and
started painting these on canvasses.
The
stamps represent travelling and can relate to postcards and letters being sent
while travelling. Then I paper mache'd another canvas and then painted air plane silhouettes on it in the dominant
colours that appeared in the stamps. These
represent me jetting all over the world!
The last painting I took the racing number of my first race that I ran and painted a simple butterfly on top of that, also in the dominant
colours. Butterflies can mean new life,
new beginnings, being free and being social.
I mounted these on a pallet that I picked up in an abandoned
parking lot, which I also feel is relevant, as pallets gets used for
transportation and in a way they travel everywhere.
beautiful!
