How you make art is incredibly revealing

A friend sent me photos that she had taken of me and my son on a recent outing. She has a background in photography as well, so I was interested in the way she took her photos. Whether or not you believe it, the way you make art often reveals something about yourself that you don’t tell others. Every photo she sent was taken from a far off distance. This friend in particular has always kept me at a distance. Sometimes I even wonder why we are friends because she reveals nothing about herself. Another friend that I had in grad school struggled with feelings that she was inadequate and not enough. Her paintings were often exploding with every colour and shape. It was often overwhelming to look at. There was no place to rest.
It’s an interesting thing to think about that may make you think about your own work and what does it reveal about yourself?
