my pregnant mind

ive been in school for 3 weeks and my head feels like its going to have a baby!


in other news, i finished project 2, my self portrait. i tried to make it a modern mona lisa so hopefully you all get that effect or see where i was going with it. 


im looking at Ingrid Calame's work this week...







remember last year at the IMA? ingrid calame exhibited her work there after she came to Indiana to trace the indianapolis motor speedway. the procedure for making her pieces entail of tracing spills, paint, and scum from the floor and walls and reproducing their outlines in vibrant colors on canvas. its very jackson pollock meets graffiti. i really like the concept of her work though, taking our marks and trash we leave everyday in public and turning their outlines to make some beautiful and never seen before.



*dont litter to make art, make art from the unconventional!
