With a permanent marker, I wrote down every negative thing I have ever said about myself and to myself. I also wrote what has been said to me by others. I painted the clown as a joke to the fact that I held onto those words longer than I should have. I “stitched” the mouth shut and placed an “X” to signify the words not having a voice again. The “blood” is to dead the thought it even had a place in my mind. I wanted the eyes to seem void and lost. “Silly Clown” - The words are no longer visible.
