nave-grade4

Ever since I was a child I loved to draw. And when I went to school I loved to draw things on the blackboard, cartoons and star signs characters. Then when I reached grade four, I started being bullied quite severely by a group of my ‘friends’ because of my love of drawing and art. I was called all sorts of names and for days and sometimes weeks on end they wouldn’t talk to me or ‘allow’ anyone else to talk to me. As a result I stopped making art. This body of work was undertaken at the VCA and is an attempt to reconnect with that fledgling artist and reclaim what was used against me.
