Exploring is how childhood comfort objects are translated into adulthood and how these objects in specific help people get through big changes, tough times, or uncomfortable situations. This project was created because I believe it will bring me some healing, comfort and stability through my making, despite the ever-changing world around me, a very fast approaching move to a new city, and the new responsibility of being a young wife. I also hope that this work will teach me that it is okay to feel the current emotions I am having and that I am not a bad person for having so many worries. And most importantly that I will get through this interesting season in my life.
I hope my piece will help people realize that they don’t have to keep their issues, problems, hurts, frustrations, and fears bottled away inside of them. I want them to remember that there are so many sources available for help and support that exist around them, they just have to step outside of themselves.
The stuffed animals, baby blankets, pictures, etc. you own are not childish, they are your special comfort objects and have been by your side through all the motions.
