Superhero n me

Meet Storm aka hippie Einstein. She's my superhero figurine and after much thought I finally have more meat to her story. I was feeling frustrated with the process of creating her and her having turned out so different from my idea of Storm from X-men that I did not have the energy or creative space left to feel connected with this cutie in front of me. The time since class has given me the space I needed to reflect on the exercise and bond with this miniature character that I brought to life.
So Ms Hippie here likes to sit and chill while the world whizzes around her. The thick white locks on her head seems to portray wisdom of an older person, whilst still retaining her youthful presence. She has her arms outstretched as she is open to letting people into her world. She has white spots on her black suit that she wears - maybe signifying energy points/specks of magic within her that she often forgets she has.
And so the story goes on and am sure I will unravel more along the way. This exercise has taught me the value of giving space for an art piece or exercise to grow on my clients, as this has for me. Moments of frustration may lead to something more insightful if I have the patience to sit with it and revisit the process maybe a few sessions later. And that's the beauty of creating art, it has a timeless quality to it that is often lost in just talking.
