Making the Invisible Visible




My inspiration for this project was my anxiety. When I am having problems with anxiety I might look ok on the outside but on the inside I am nauseous which to me feels like bad butterflies in my stomach. My biggest challenge I faced was trying to keep the wires still so that the butterflies could go on top of them to make them look like they are coming out of my stomach. My project ties into mixed media because of the paint, clay, paper and wire I used. My favorite part of this was making the opening for my stomach because I liked using the clay and shaping it, as well as making it look bloody.
