Gestation Period

The works of countless artists are discoverable with only a few clicks, and it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the amount of skilled works and talented artists there are in the world. ‘Gestation Period’ is a work which tackles feelings of artistic insecurity and ‘imposter syndrome’ in art circles. The fetal imagery, the use of a secondhand blind, and the use of gesso as the primary material are intended to communicate the feeling of being ‘underdeveloped’ as an artist.
