SIGNATURE III
Diving into the art world I questioned my identity as an artist. What makes me different or recognisable from other artists?
How could my artwork be instantly identified as a Rebecca Carter Masterpiece? I then discovered I wanted to create a label or a creative signature that identifies my artwork solely as my own, like a stamp. Like all artist i.e. Painters, Musicians, Poets and Fashion Designers there is a need to put a mark on your work so the audience are aware that you're the one responsible for your creation. It was important for me to find a label or signature that represents me and a sentimental attachment that is close to my heart.
UNVEILING THE SIGNIFICANCE
III (3) is my Numerology number and symbolises the holt trinity, the past, the present, and the future.
In chinese culture it signifies one of three important stages in a person's life i.e. birth, marriage and death and I was able to relate to these stages.
Back in May 2022, I nearly died as my heart was pumping at 25% of my heart capacity, and by pure luck I had taken myself to the hospital thinking the symptoms were not serious but that all had changed.
I do feel blessed though as I was fortunate to have found the underlying conditions before it was too late. In my mind I feel as though I was born, and nearly died, and now there's almost a rebirth. Meaning, there’s a rebirth in me and developing the confidence to have a voice and speak up, to help others through my artwork and to follow my dreams.
Personally I’ve never been able to express my feelings through words, therefore art gives me the courage to voice my opinion and i hope that i can inspire others to do so.
