I am finally done with my quarter one home project!
I have mixed feelings about how it turned out, but am definitely glad i pushed myself to work with more of an unfamiliar medium. I like the overall look of the piece, but wish I had found a way to add a bit more depth, as I added many layers and don't think they necessarily achieved this. For awhile I worried the piece lacked interest, but at the last minute decided to add a new color and some dots to tie in the paper scraps. I think this definitely helped, but still I think the piece could be a bit more interesting. Although I like the content of this piece, which ties into some of my other work, I don't think it necessarily shows through this piece. However, it was never my intention to make the content obvious to the viewer, and I did keep it in mind throughout my process. To me, this is about the balance of chaos and order, or simplicity and complexity (ideas I have played with before) within the thought and experimentation process. Clearly, there are a few things I don't love about this piece, but again, overall, I am really glad I made it. It was fun to step out of my comfort zone and work with paint, and to be able to go back to the piece week after week adding more and more layers. I like all of the texture in the piece, and hope to use some similar techniques in some of my future work, paintings or not, as I did in this.
