Balsa Wood Artist Statement

During this project I was going through a lot emotionally. I felt like I couldn't safely express my feelings verbally but still I needed an outlet before I exploded. My paper sculpture became the outlet for me. I ripped up coarse cardboard paper and soaked it in water for a few days to create a wet organ shaped piece. Looking back on this piece it makes me feel sad a first due to the memory but then proud for daring to use this project as my venting safe space.
