ART REVIEWS: CHELSEA MARTIN

Sometimes, when I connect with extraordinary art, I just get so darn bummed out. It's a specific sadness, unlike any I experience any other time during living. The sadness I feel while looking at Chelsea Martin's words and drawings is steeped in anxiety, which makes me feel brain-dead, which in turn makes me want to watch cartoons, right before deciding to take a nap where I dream of having the misfortune of getting stuck in a natural disaster. I think this is so strange and confusing for my brian, especially when I know I am enjoying looking at this art, falling in love with it. Maybe it is my subconscious recognizing the internal process of being inspired, and somehow giving me a tiny hint, a secret nudge, a private wink that says "Hey! This is how I work!"
