Why was I was initially called Out of Touch Artwork?
A few people have asked, so if you’re curious:
It actually started as an anonymous photography page.
I was too shy and inexperienced to put my name to it but wanted the practice, it felt pointless to edit photos and do nothing with them. So I made an account to post them.
With hindsight, I probably chose the name because it felt distant enough from who I really am to be any risk.
But also I can be a bit of a hermit, I can go or stay out of touch from loved ones for a long time but still love them just as much. So in this sense, and a few others, I felt it fit.
I do think it served a good purpose in this stage of my life.
It definitely helped me overcome the fear.
Little by little I put more of my real self into the photo page until I put my face and name to it.
When I switched to art I used it as a placeholder but also piggy backed my new art account off of the old photo one a little bit.
As I have learned all these new exciting skills it finally feels I have really evolved past that stage of my life.
And it’s time for a more serious name.
If I’m honest I do want connection with others more than I let myself believe and so, it really comes down to the fact that I just don’t feel so out of touch anymore. 😉
No new exciting name. Just my name.
