Encostic Wax and Found Materials

This is my bicycle. I like this piece becuase my subject matter seems original. Mr.Brandt actually told me about Edwyn Lowandowski,(i totally just butchered that name, i think), and he does Precionism. This is similar to Precionism, however, my focus was on the negative space. I didn't even want to add the lines, but...it was lacking in the end, and the lines ending up giving a design feel, I think.

Wizard of Oz


I believe that this is our third project in art, and I have been trying to experiment with every piece that I have done thus far, and experiment is what I did. My original plan for this project was to use liquitex image transfers on EVERYTHING, and just layer, overlap, and design over pictures. But...Liquitex was unavailable. So, I experimented with citrasolv. Cool, process. Doesn't always work. I like my uniqueness, and that it was more of a piece of artwork than an actual poster, but I ended up envying more what everyone else produced, than liking my uniqueness. For the cd cover, I'll stick more to getting the point across. And relying on technology.

Driveway Photos


This is one of many pictures I have taken in my driveway. I don't even look this good in my own aviator's, lol. And she's nine.

It's not that blurry, I promise...
So this is Serene. I know I sound like a total freak, but I know everything about Serene. Even though she isn't real. She just came out of my head for this project. Which of course, is the Fibanacchi Spiral. The spiral is her hair, curling up around her lips. With this project, I really wanted to experiment with fabric. Her face is actually japenese silk paper, which is soft like fabric, her hair has ribbon through it. The lines in the negative space are also ribbon, and the colored squares are pieces of fabric. I named her Serene because Serene can be her name, or it can describe her state in the piece.
Tell me what you think...improvements, etc. I'm going to doctor her up I
think.
