Heart drawings

Made around 2001 when I was 27. Colored heart shapes with stream of consciousness pen text over them. Getting used to my handwriting etc. and my stream of thoughts, self acceptance. They are working through handwriting itself as something specific to the body (Hélène Cixous’s écriture féminine often comes up in conversation). They are also working through the thoughts, feelings and emotions involved in knowing that “I’ll never have handwriting like Tracy Emin”. – SMW.
