New work sneak peak. Themes –
-softening pastel colors washes – very transparent/vivid / aggravating
-interchangeable sense of space / sense of volume / physically hollow / conceptually awkward
-jungle beat is based on a series of interlinked elephant drawings / linked by trunks / echoed through arm on foot beat / elephants create beats / slamming their trunks on the ground or trees
-janes dog was based solely on my friend’s color palette / was given the palette and decided to do a painting of her sweet sweet dog Arkoo.
-broad direct action / central visual plane / confronted with shape / graffiti characteristic
So I am curating a show at my professor’s art space –

We are all good friends and we basically wanted to do a show together for at least 2 years. I feel really psyched to approach the space with all these great pieces and just turn it into a beautiful show. Been working alot on this sculpture collaboration for the show so come out and smell the grass.
