Holly Carman took the theme of anxiety for her major project; she tried to get as close as she could to the experience. Anxiety is presented as a heavy weight to carry, one that necessitates the repeated pouring over and over of the same troubled thoughts. It carries with it a fragile heart and a dislocation from those around. Holly tried in the way she presented her work to express all of this but inevitably the individual drawings shone clearly and poignantly, all on scraps of paper as if desperately trying to exorcize these feelings.
