Nobody Hears Me

Frequently, I don’t understand what’s going on inside of me until it comes out of my hand. I’m on the receiving end of a hate crime, and it has infected every part of my life. I took a double dose of antidepressant today, and I’m still depressed.

And so I turned to art. I’ve been playing with text mask in photo editing.

This is what I say.

This is what people hear.

They all say “Please make it stop hurting.” I used a regular font, and a symbol font. The unintelligible one are what I think people hear. Except I don’t think they are hearing anything.

What do I do with all this? Have it printed and turn it into an art quilt? Have it printed and. turn it into a series of art quilts?

As an artist, I create with beads, fabric, fiber, and ceramic clay. Sometimes separately; sometimes in assorted combinations. You can find my on-line store at: www.debthumanart.com.
