I think today was one of the most emotional days of my life. So many things happened and it's like a total plethora I don't even know what the hell to do with this situation anymore. The tears did threaten to spill but I didn't want to meltdown in front of all the AEPians and everyone at the openstudios. Explaining my work to everyone today made me realise how much of ME is in my painting. It's like a conceptually abstract representation of my experiences. I explained my project to Weixuan and then HE came in. Immediately, Weixuan was like saying it's based on him huh? Wow.. I didn't expect people to get it that fast.I guess it's true what he said -- "The most touching stories are not imagined but experienced." This is ridiculous, I'm getting sad cos of my own painting.
Nevertheless it was good to see everyone again. James. Jo. Tiff. Cedric. Good times. Perhaps too good.
