Current Selected Works
Boring stuff:
10 by 15 inches, canvas, acrylic paint.
Both of these selected works have to do with fear and my reaction to it!
Well, at Least it's Not on Fire Anymore
Inspiration:
Judy Chicago - pose
Edvard Munch - lighting/texture
The Meaningful stuff:
When the fires stopped, I was sort of numb. So many of my friends had lost their homes, their possessions, and it felt like I had lost my memories. I laughed and tried to pretend that they never happened, and water became seen as the ultimate safety, despite my intense fear of it. The main representation of this piece is that you cannot fight the fires of your own fear just because you "put on the armor" or get ready to face it. What seems like a light at the end of the tunnel can trap you in a toothy maw.
Nevermind
Inspiration:
Because I wanted to find ways to make my art more directly emotional, I used Edvard Munch as an inspiration. Also, I took more literal inspiration from my own face because I thought I could better convey emotions if I directly used my own expressions of them.
The meaningful stuff:
This work, in a story, would chronologically follow "Well, at Least it's Not on Fire Anymore", which I hope I made abundantly clear with the relationships of the titles. The corner is a distorted part of my house, where I sit and let the hours pass on my phone to try and wait out anxiety. The flames still reach my mind.
Boring info:
11 by 17 inches, paper, made with marker, pencil, pen, colored pencil, and paint. (many diffrent media to make a more chaotic and disconnected feel)
