Figuring out Ink Wash

 These are all the incomplete and explorations I did in class and on my own time. Some of these pieces demonstrate how I truly struggled with this assignment, the size and quantity was overwhelming for me, and the time crunch to complete the work took the enjoyment out of the project for me. I also struggled to trust the ink at first which made creating the pieces so difficult. I don't really like how my portraits of people turned out, I struggled with them quite a bit, in part cause I didn't understand how to do it, but also because I started to really question my artistic ability and almost felt like giving up entirely. However, I will admit I am glad I stuck with it, because I really like how some of these pieces turned out (I'll make a post with the final products). I also really enjoyed seeing everyone's pieces collaged together in the exhibition, it was truly captivating.

A Line in Relation to My Body

 I really enjoyed this project, I took inspiration from Roman Ondak's project Measuring the Universe , 2007. I asked close friends and acquaintances to place their hand on the work with different configurations of paint. Funnily enough this idea came to me while I was reading my partner's palm. The lines of our palm are unique to every individual. I chose to use magenta, blue, and yellow because I figured it would mix on the page well with all the layers of the hands. This piece is a mix of performance and abstraction, and I couldn't be happier with it! I'm truly grateful for everyone who contributed to this piece. My favorite part is that I had a lot of people tell me how much fun it was to participate in this project, people got to embrace their inner child and have fun with some finger painting.
