Rejection
Yak: Emma Rejection is one of those things that everyone experiences. the fear of rejection probably has some roots in early caveman behaviour, but I am not a scientist or Anthropologist (I hope that's the right "ist"?) but I am human and I have felt rejection. Whether its a job, a partner, social or familial its guaranteed we will all feel rejection at some point. In life you have to take risks and this fear of failure is part of that risk, you have to make yourself vulnerable and put yourself out there. At the beginning of the year I did that. I decided to enter in to an open call, for a design to cover a Elmer the Elephant as part of the Great North parade for St Oswalds Hospice in Newcastle. The brief was very open and part of my plan for 2019 was to take that leap, push myself and my work further. The idea came together quickly, if I am honest probably too quickly for me to judge it good enough. I went round in circles for a couple of weeks sketc
