This piece created a huge shift in my personal journey by allowing myself to accept and express my angst aswell as ‘happy’ in myself and my art. Because of this I intentionally made use of black for the first time in this period, a colour I usually avoid. As with therapy there is a sheer terror of facing the tightly winding roads to a sheer drop. One wrong turn and it all ends. But along with terror and nerves there is excitement as we see the view in the distance, a softer, calmer place of colour and brightness. All we want to do is get to the place we can see in the future, but to get there we know we need to take this tumultuous journey first. Adrenalin makes us sweat but soon turns to sweat of relief having made our way through the terror and darkness. As the adrenalin slows down it is a journey never to forget.
