The habit of writing tiny began in 2017 as a coping mechanism during an emotionally turbulent year. I was confronted with an abrupt loss; as a result, anger and anxiety ensued. I turned to a repetitive tedious outlet that also fulfilled a flatworks assignment for my sculpture class. 

During Covid, I revisited this practice as it proved to be a source of comfort. I’ve always been drawn to working on small, intricate, and tedious tasks, especially as a means of meditation or processing emotions. As a result, the words themselves are usually written in stream-of-consciousness style, but the content varies widely. Sometimes I spend the entire time musing on the process of writing. The content is always intimate, usually emotionally so. I often embrace the paradox of a loud angry monologue written in miniscule barely-legible handwriting.

I welcome the ambiguity of my Tiny Writings - stuck in a space between drawing, language, absurdism, and personal objecthood. The fluidity and absurdity of the works are areas I’m constantly pondering and pushing the bounds of. In continuation of this practice, I hope to investigate new formats and mediums, seeing what each has to offer in terms of added context, dimension, and visual impact.
