Lately I've been learning a lot about myself and the way society a woman, a fat woman, a fat black woman. All of these things have played greatly on who I am and who I want to become, the struggles I've had to find love for myself, and the love that I now find myself eager to share with others. I've actually been exploring this in my own personal artwork andit's a theme that I'm not ready to shake yet so I'll use it for this class.

I found inspiration photos that resonated with me aethestically, photos with great energy, and that pull together all the elements of the woman I'm growing into. I call it skin like ink because that's what my skin reminds me of and it sounded poetic to me :P.
