Section I

(Left - Science Challenge | Right: Erasure Marks)





          Before we began our long-term projects, we were assigned to make many small pieces based on one topic. The concepts could be anything we liked so long as it somewhat related to the given idea. One of my first favorite pieces was one related to science. The second was about making marks through the act of erasing.
         Although I'm not good when it comes to science, I've always been attracted to the organic shapes that occur under the microscope. A lot of my pieces were inspired by amoebas and microscopic organisms. The tiny, intricate details are mesmerizing and very special to me. 
          When we were given the assignment to use "erasing" to make art, I immediately thought of an assignment that I was given in high school art class. We were told to make poems by randomly selecting words from old book pages we found. I refined this idea by selecting words or phrases that I found aesthetically appealing to create new content. I erased all of the other words to isolate my new poems and drew around them as I saw fit.

    Stage 1: Clear Mindedness Stage 2: The Beginning Stage 3: Disillusionment          Touch, for me, has made a very big impact in my life. There has never been a defined line between pain and pleasure due to my past. When you feel as though you deserve the pain being inflicted upon you, it's likely that something isn't right. I've had to rediscover myself through the definition of touch because there are specific things that differentiate between "good" and "bad." As time has passed, I've learned what it means to be in pain, as well as being relieved of it.      When I was in the darkest part of my life, pain was something I felt I deserved. I had been forced into thinking that everything was my fault. I thought that he was demonstrating how much he cared whenever he put his hands on me. I didn't see it as a bad thing at the time -- just normal. Touch, at this time, was sharp; violent and difficult for me to wra...
