Section III


Multiple Panel






          When I first started working on this piece, I knew that I wanted to continue working with an idea that I'd never been able to let go of. For about two years now, I've been obsessed with the way concrete looks after many years of wear. These three burlap panels were inspired by a walk through St. Augustine, Florida. Much of the concrete there is cracked and lifted, given that the city is so old. I felt that working on a different texture would be helpful in giving a more natural look.

Drawing on Objects



          A few years back, I painted a chair inspired by Marcel Duchamp's "The Fountain." The chair had been broken since I got it and I had no use for it. Repurposing old objects to create new art has always been something I was fond of. The seat of the chair has been transformed into a sort of wood canvas. The painting was inspired by organic shapes found in nature, as well as various pieces that I have done before.

Transformation Drawing

Transformation 2


Transformation 3


Transformation 4


Transformation 5
          Layering is a beautiful way to create new works of art. At first, I was a little nervous to make anything that I knew I would like because I would have to cover it up to entirely transform the piece. Admittedly, I was cautious at first and didn't "go big" until the very end when I decided to make a wall sculpture out of my drawing. Watching my piece evolve into something much different each week was very satisfying because I know how many different layers are all hidden inside this ball.

          For this week, I re-photographed my littles beans and used Lightroom to tweak the lighting in most of them. I tried my best with help from my friend that has experience with it. I grouped them based on color and shape, as well as other characteristics.

Touch

    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...
