This painting is about writing our thoughts down to organise and understand them.

​

There were times when my mind felt so busy, with thoughts circling around with nowhere to land. I found it hard to make sense of what my mind was telling me in all that jumbled chaos.

​

Keeping a notebook became my answer to that. Writing my thoughts onto paper created a distance from them. They were no longer caught inside me, but something I could physically see. It helped me make sense of them and put them into perspective.

​

In the painting, the window symbolises a way of seeing in. The large, comfortable sofa and blanket represent the comfort I find in writing in a journal or notebook. It can become a companion.  A place where thoughts can be honest, unfinished and real.
