Artist's Comments

ok, so I broke my own rules. I wanted to try using black.
Not only can negative emotions and memories be suppressed, but positive memories can be repressed by overwhelming sadness.

30.5 x 40.6cm
Acrylic, wax, permanent marker, writing paper (from old schoolbooks), butchers paper, balloon, old photographs, dried leaves, ashes on canvas board.

I'm not sure if the black works yet. What do you think?

Positive memories repressed by the overwhelming implies they can be saved, when this happens they are generally lost... devoured.

In this picture, i am seeing the shining stars grow dimmer as the black hole consumes me, the void where something once comforted people.

On the small view, it looked like yep, some kind of star field.
Then when i take a closer look, it looked like bubles, like oil bubbles, dense and claustrophobic.
Now after a while it looks like both of them.
Stars sinking on a claustrophobic, warm and dense void.
Just like people, i suposse.
Nice texture!

it is the way the forest looked when I drove to see the site of my family home that burned five years ago.

It is the night where I kissed a girl and I knew she would be going home to her fiance.

It is the asphalt of my elementary school, and the color is my dreams of birthday parties.

It is the day I realised that he wasn’t who I thought he was.

black on black (or white on white as the case me be) always delights me

are you familiar with the artist petah coyne? if not, CHECK HER OUT THIS MINUTE DROP WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING AND LOOK HER UP NOW

i think she is right up your alley....in terms of her color choices, material usage, and themes

"Terror is as much a part of the concept of truth as runniness is of the concept of jam. We wouldn't like jam if it didn't, by its very nature, ooze. We wouldn't like truth if it wasn't sticky, if, from time to time, it didn't ooze blood." -Baudrillard

:omfg: she's amazing. Thanks so much for introducing me to her.
and thanks for all you comments and support.

You are also super-rad in my opinion! I've been dev-watching you since I was 14 on my old account where I posted lame self portraits and emo poetry. :XD:

hehe, no problem :)

and thanks, hehe, i totally remember my days of emo poetry, but when i was 14 and writing emo poetry, there wasn't even the term 'emo' yet, hahah, but believe you me, it was uber emo stuff

i think we all have our emo poetry phase....i wish i had kept some of that stuff, it would be hilarious to read it now 10 years later, heheh
