A Vision Of Self In Time
I always wanted to be a fashion designer when I was growing up and I would often draw the female fashion models on the cover of the sewing patterns that my Grandma gave me.
They were patterns from the 60’s and 70’s. I always admired their style and hair. During my 20’s I started to draw clothing items and then I would make my own clothes from my sewing machine. I always liked drawing faces and figures.
This year, I chose to do a series of 10 faces during a 12 month period. I used my heart to guide me. I chose 4-5 colours I liked that day and used the colours to create the shadows and texture on the face and background.
Each face represents myself in that space in time. When I look at each one, I can pin point the experience, mood and emotion I was feeling then. It’s a reflection of myself in that exact moment in time.
When I reflect back on them, it reminds me that the experience you feel today, will eventually go away.
And that we are consistently growing into some new version of ourself.
Each painting is saying something. It’s speaking to me. Like an angel looking over me.
What does each face say to you?
Love, Kimberley Smith
