Line-by-Line:
Able to relate to this emotion through this project. The immense pressure to get the lines done right. Depicted through the dark tones pressurizing the light. Little scratches are present in the light to signify anxious clawing.
Bizzare
Mono-printing gone weird. Happened to chance by this mono-print. The white circles looked strangely like huge eyes. The blots flowing down in the lighter parts makes the entire shape look somewhat like an infant. The distorted character formed by chance makes the composition somewhat scary. Definitely Bizzare.
Psychotic
Inside the mind of a crazy person. All the blots and lines. The somewhat cluttered and organic composition makes one stare uncomfortably at the tortured mind of a psychopath.
Nonsensical
Words falling, unstable and holding no meaning. Nonsense.
Turbulent
Paint going in all random direction. Black and White, Good and Evil, Ying and Yang. Hold on because it’s going to be one crazy ride!
Spontaneous
From a little flame to layers and layers of raging inferno. The sheer power of the growth shows the spontaneity of the combustion.
Distracted
Why is there a line in the middle? The more I want to ignore it the more I stare at it.
Sloven
The mess of the rejected pieces put together. Where is the line? Too lazy and messy to make one, so used the glue as the line instead. Look closely.
Aggressive
The aftermath of an earthquake. The most powerful man can never match up to the pure strength and destruction of nature. Fall through the cracks. Let everything fall.
Sensual
Floating. Floating. Float for eternity. Comfortable and smooth.
Indecisive
Left? Middle? Right? Decisions, decisions.
Awkward
Poor little dirty circle. Caught in the angle parade.
Exhausted
All the vitality slowly fading away. Fading into a dream.
Fragile
The thread of life. Ever so fragile and weak. Love and hold on while you can.
Ambiguous
Snoopy and 2 Woodstocks looking at a board? Bushes and Tree Bark? Lines are confusing. What do you think?
Systematic
To and Fro. In and Out. Loops and Cycles. Systematic
Embarassed
Hi there! Come on out! Don’t be shy!
Lyrical
Flowing white cloth in smoke. Dance and Sing. Follow the beautiful melody.
Annd. Done.
Some reflections:
Really tough but eye-opening experience.
18 emotions. 18 entirely different ideas.
As a person that likes to spend time with his ideas. 18 might be too many for me.
But it is because of the sheer amount of ideas needed that it forced me to try so many different techniques.
Really hoped had more time to explore this project then.
Had nothing from the start. Had to gather resources and experiments.
Really enjoyed the process.
From this I gained experience and skills.
Grateful for this experience and opportunity for growth.
However, the biggest question:
Am I a good enough to be called an artist yet?
Anyways,
Have a great day.
