This is Charcoal is a culmination of my emotions over the last few years - finding myself lost in my own creativity as I grow into an adult, battling the voices I have in my head that stemmed from a childhood of constant judgement and striving to please people that can never be satisfied.

I have been a big fan of Porter Robinson ever since my best friend Jack introduced me to Shelter back in 2016. To use his music as an outlet for these emotions has been very relieving as the lyrics from his most recent album Nurture follows Porter going down a similar path of dealing with the struggles of self-criticism.

This all ties back to the object show community. We’re all a bunch of artists, animators, voice actors, creatives in general making our way through the wider world through our object shows. Especially since most us are young, we are constantly shaped and moulded by people around us and that can have very profound effects as we grow.

Thanks for making it all the way down here!
