Uncomfortable in Love is a visual expression of a complex situation. I have fallen deeply in love and our relationship has coaxed me far out of my comfort zone. Each drawing picks apart a feeling, an anxiety, a confusion, a pleasure, and attempts to convey this inner turmoil. Animals symbolise myself and my discomfort. Him and our lust. Envy and the presence of others.

How strenuous to be a monogamous woman in love with a non-monogamous man. How embarrassing and absurd to define this dynamic to the public, but how joyous to spend time with him.

And now I find myself quite comfortable. I am supported, and loved.

Four or so years has been enough time for me to grow trust and nurture a content peace. Only a small piece of grit remains to agitate me, but this skerrick of discomfort keeps me energised and excited.
