I am trying to create my world by connecting memories and the journey of wonders I experience in this world.I find the world fascinating and so many things stop me and I have to investigate what caught my attention.Most of the time, I forget what has caught my interest or I let them sleep in my memory bank semi permanent.But when I investigate further and find the answer, if there are any answers, it excites me and thrills me.Sometimes it's easy to pick up a dictionary or google and answers can be found.Other times, the things that catch my attention are vague and ambiguous so that I have to find the way to see what it is at the end or centre of my curiosity, and I sometimes do so by looking for clues from completely different events or situations.And I do so by drawing and painting the objects or anything that caught my curiosity, over and over until I am satisfied, or nearly.By drawing and painting a curiosity, and by doing so over and over, I often find connection to my other curiosities.I am trying to put them all together and make them into residents of my world.
