The Tired Artist connects to my creative process because I lose sleep when I work and tend to stress. Despite being in love with making art, I feel as an artist it destroys me sometimes because of how fatigued I get after it. I have pulled many all-nighters for the past couple of years, so I wanted to reflect on my sense of time in this piece. On one hand, I’m immersed in my work and lose track of time, on the other hand, I am overly worried and anxious about whether I have enough time to achieve what I want to. The clock is broken and there are no hands on the clock to show that there is no such thing as time but the artist drawing on top that’s pulling her hair and has tired eyes literally stresses over it. Her expression is numb and unfazed though because she doesn’t mind.
