I'm showing all the stuff I've done Spring semester. My artist statement for this drawing class was about self exploration, and finding out new things about myself. At first it started with things I already knew about myself, and it slowly started to morph into things that I see in other people, but then came back around to depression. Seeing how each piece fit in with my origional artist statement, it would seem that I had a bout of depression this past semester.
I was under a great deal of stress this past semester, pushing myself to my limits and then beyond them. I rarely saw my friends as the semester swept by; I barely had a family who knew me as I dove deeper and deeper into the art world; I guess I was depressed. But it made my art that much better! yey! go depression... only not so much....
These two peices were toward the beginning of the semester. Of the diptic, the top shows a close up of me. Me just being me in my own world, content but restrained and manipulated into a feminine shape and held behind glass. In the second is the big picture of what was going on. I was behind all these confinements and still trying to control my own life. Mostly I controlled my relationships like a yo-yo. Up one day then down the next; rejecting and accepting boys at whatever interval I chose, so long as I chose it.
These next two are two parts to a tryptic, however I forgot to take a picture of that one. The first is showing how when you first meet someone they have cloaked themselves to hide their true identity. The second is one shows a bit more of what's under the cloth, showing time revealing it's true identity. The third is the individual opening up and revealing all. This idea came from my Inerpersonal Communication class. At the time we were talking about self disclosure and I do much more disclosing than most normal people so I wanted to take a look at how other people operate.
That's all I have time to post - Hope you enjoyed it!
