more photos of my 1000 project

photos of my most recent art project. We had to create a piece form 1000 objects. I chose to use lines from my own creative writing and write them directly on the wall and floor of the armory in wet erase expo marker. It was insanely deceptive as far as how much I had done and took longer than I ever expected. Thus I ended up working from 9:45 am ( the day before it was due) to 5:15 am the day it was due in order to finish on time. While I love the piece I did not appreciate the exhaustion and massive hand cramps as well as a sore back that came with it.

The words started a little over 10 feet up on the wall and spilled over onto the floor but I haven’t measure how far.

POAD II Circle assignment result

[riverofimagination-blog]

In my Principals of Art and Design II (POAD II) class we had an assignment centered around the circle. Everyone int he class drew one medium and one constraint from a hat (envelopes technically but you get the picture). My medium was Math and my constraint was “produced under starlight or moonlight only”. This was the resulting video of the process.

Does the blankness of a page ever draw you in? Beg you to write, to fill lines with scrawled words? Sometimes that feeling is overwhelming to me.I have to let the words escape or they just might devour me.
