The Hope Series: Broken Ribbon
This is a special piece to me, because at first I really did hope that somehow making art and exposing myself on the internet would attract the kind of person I was waiting for, the kind who maybe is drawn to ripped fabric, and I hoped for that quite intensely when I drew this, before realizing how completely insane it sounded. Still, I think there is pride in carrying our broken ribbons on the outside, but when no one shows up in a hood, it does make you want to hide it away in some drawer where you don't need to look at it, because all of a sudden that ribbon looks like it might just fall apart... And that's the artistic dilemma I'm currently at.
