These are basically in chronological order. This was one of the first projects of the year- on a late night inspiration. I believe I was listening to Pink Floyd when I drew this. medium: chalk pastels size: 46 x 61 cm
In the lower righthand corner are sketches of a man's head. It was a study on shape and shadow. I was listening to the Doors most likely (during art class). medium: pencil size: 46 x 61 cm (approx.) it was basically the same size as the one before. In the photograph, you see it's location in my room (hanging 'neath my window).
Gold and blue...this is my door. The quote going around the sun reads "When the doors of perception are cleansed, man will see things as they truly are...Infinite." it may not be accurate (as I just discovered) but...too late. It's already painted. medium: acrylic pain size: um...door sized.
I bought white feathers, sprayed them lavender with fabric paint, used duct tape and florist wire and 12x12 back of styrofoam to make these wings. It took forever. They are lifesize. At the end of the project, I could tell my art teacher didn't like what was going on - kind of messy. So I spent the weekend painting and glueing a sculpture in black and mirrors (of silver and rosy backing) with very large wheels to bring to class. The rosy mirror was shattered at school accidentally, but in a sunburst style. I thought that made it interesting, added a lot. I never took a photograph, but I remember it well. (I burned everything but the wings when I was done).
Window (cost $5-10) and acrylic paint. Viewed through my ceiling's draping cloth and out into the woods. *l* Believe it or not, I was listening to NIN when I made this.
Done in watercolor, in 45 minutes, while listening to ...*trying to remember* Mazzy Star? No. An American Prayer- the Doors.
This is young Truman Capote (author of In Cold Blood). For art class This Year. It is now matted and my art teacher is hanging it in my school, so pray for its fate. Things get knocked down in schools.
