Part 1 of 2 of my latest project pictures! I do not yet have a title for this one (even though it's finished), but hopefully that comes soon. The piece is entirely in paint (my first this year!), but it marks a return to Bristol board from wood panel. (I did like using panel, but I only used it so that I wouldn't have a panel left over at the end of the year.) It is also very minimal, entirely black (the first layer of that is shown in the final picture of this slideshow) with the only exceptions being a lightbulb and a red solo cup hallucination on the left side of the piece. I hope to use very thin layers of red paint on the several layers of hallucination so that it better shows the loss of reality.
This piece is yet another continuation of my apparent theme of sexual assault - in this case, it shows the worst-case scenario relating to the "don't put your cup down at parties, no matter what" idea. I am only a year and a half away from college (and with college comes parties), and the idea that this future is hanging over my head is more than a little frightening. The piece is made as a representation of fear, and understandably it could be very upsetting to people because of that. Hopefully I never find myself in this sort of situation, but that is an unrealistic hope, and even now I catch myself starting to think about what I would do if I found myself in that situation.
