Overwhelmed - print of etching by Rosy Brown

ARTIST STATEMENT: I created this self-portrait in order to try and communicate the overwhelming feelings of anxiety. I linked this feeling to the physical reality of drowning in order to try and convey the way in which it is all consuming; but also in order to represent the more physical aspects, such as loss of breath. The print is meant to try and represent the desperate feeling of trying to “stay afloat” in day to day life when your mind feels as though it is flooding.
