This new project is the first self generated theme project of second year in Contemporary Art Practice. As I stumbled with last years self generated theme, I was feeling anxious about beginning this project, so I wanted to ensure I was passionate about the subject matter to help improve motivation and inspiration when feeling lost and/or stuck.

The title of this project is ‘What It Means To Be A Woman’. I aim to use text and self portraiture to communicate my feelings of what it means to be a woman – focusing on the subjects of relationships, mental/physical health, and appearance. I am excited to express myself freely and to create something I am passionate about.

Below are some examples of my diary entries and doodles that inspired this project, followed by my MURAL board filled with artists work I’m influenced by:
