Painting Paintings

Painting seems to be a medium used to communicate something with conviction, even if it is not a specific idea or point. I am currently painting to communicate nothing, but with conviction and assurance.

7/5/2014 Notes

- Is art really a democracy?
- Should connections have so much of an impact?
- Banksy is often accepted as a person who should be "allowed" to graffiti buildings. This does not have to do with connections to gallery owners, but was this a democratic decision? Is it "acceptable"?

Arrrgh

These are looking... pretty bad.

End Of Year Piece (First Half)

I'm making this text piece and a pair of dice (which will list things to be anxious about) as a reflection of what it can be like living with anxiety. I'm thinking I'll attach the dice to the canvas, because people may miss the point if they actually roll the dice themselves; it may seem like the expected result is for "planting a seed of doubt" to actually work on them.
