“And Through”, created by Pat Adams is an unconventional work made with acrylic paint and mixed media pieces. The abstract depiction portrays two smeared circles within a defined, fine circle. All of this is over a dark hued background made of sweeping brush strokes. This piece is a good representation of my travel documentary. The vehicle, “And Through” shows the two side of my life, the two smaller circles (being home and being abroad). They are painted within the larger circle to show that the are part of a whole. The tenor, the two side of my life, come together to create me as a human being. I take what I have learned and the experiences that I have lived through on my many trips, and use them at home, and vice versa. The two sides of my world help one another move along. Also, the combination of smeared paint and small details in this painting, thoroughly depict my memory of these trips. Most of it is a fog but through pictures and some distinct memories, I can paint a detailed picture of certain events.
