Invisible 2012 | Purpose:Smoke shows the disappearing of thoughts, ideas and life. The feedback I received for this piece was positive as they liked the intriguing curls of the smoke. For this piece, I used wax to create texture and ink to carry on the charcoaled smoke from the white. For my next piece I want to incorporate the smoke, but maybe leave out the white background. I also want to try to work with glue and etch the smoke into the glue. |

Artist Statement: Love is lost so often and always taken for granted. Love is so fragile and can just blow away in a second. Investment: For this project it didn’t take me too much time to complete the idea that I had envisioned in my head. The thing that took me the longest was burning the edges of the middle canvas. I know that I could have made it better and taken more time on it, but when I finished them I thought they looked done. When I look at them now they look incomplete to me. I hope to not expand on these pieces in particular, but to expand on the idea and to make it more complex. Difficulty: The most difficult process of these works was getting the baking soda stick. It was first put on with water and then sprayed with a clear spray paint to give it a top coating , but it still doesn’t want to stay down on the canvas. In the future I hope to stray away from most mix media and focus more on technical drawings with only some different mediums in them. Self-Assessment: I would give myself a A-, because even though I really like how the work turned out I know I could have done better. I believe I captured the idea in my head well even though I know I could have improved on that idea before I put it into work. The biggest problem I think I made this summer was going with my first idea and not coming up with multiples, because I believed the first to be the best. I hope for in the future that I can give myself more choices and to pick the best one and not the first one. |
