"News" is one of my most popular pieces. But most of you wonder what the meaning behind it is. On my product page, it says "I was a sad preteen". Which is the gist of it. But I figured I would give you a deeper look into the meaning. 

I was 12 when I made this. Originally, it was just the woman standing there. There was no background. At the time, I had my first crush on a boy. I wasn't sure if he liked me back and of course my new teen hormones weren't helping. 

Later on, I brought this into my AP Art class in High School and my teacher wanted me to add more to it. So I put charcoal on my hands and smeared it all over the canvas. Then I went in and added some concrete to it as well. 

Maybe I should do more like this.
