What is holding me back?
In response to a task about reflection of practice...
Statement:
From working in lino and mono print last year, it really forced me to be more considerate about the line quality and amount of detail featured within my work. - more aware of negative space. I became more prone to reducing the detail and simplifying my designs which in my opinion really benefitted the visual aesthetic of my illustration practice. However, when re creating a similar aesthetic through digital means, it was an excuse to start adding unnecessary detail and going over board, detracting from the charming simplistic quality that appealed to me about my authentic Lino cuts. This is something i felt was important to reflect on at this stage and to really be aware of this when creating my roughs and concepts. - (create designs that will be suitable for lino wether creating through this method or not.)
- Lino printing.
I have shied away from using lino cut of late, because its time consuming and there are more risks involved in the process. However, i enjoy the process and want to return to it in my practice. I want to take the opportunity of this task to overcome my reservations about using lino cut within my work. - this task will force me to work in a way that scares me, but one that will hopefully bring a lot of benefits to my practice.
During the creation of this piece - it helped me to address my issues head on - realised that I've been worrying too much about peoples opinions and failure. I fell back in love & it has Inspired me to keep pursuing the process which i love. don't be afraid of making mistakes positive reaction from new people was really encouraging - felt a warm welcome

- My first Lino cut of the year.
- successful / strong image / involved my interest in visual metaphors as well as passion for Lino cut.
- what it represents: Fear of self / fear of ambition/ideas / i'm holding myself and my practice back
- hugely enjoyable
- excited to continue and create more.
