2.2

piece 2.2

sabrina to adie. ny to chi. #1

I was inspired to do this while surrounded in a pile of change from my day of tips at work. I wanted to play with the idea of what kind of emotional interest would go into making everyone work on and destroy the actual money. . .as opposed to using it for some sort of good like food or bills. 
28 dollar bills, glue, water,  color pencil, and a series of clip art images brought this piece into fruition . . .

Olé!

Here is a photo of my phase 1.

Adie's Stage 1

Here's what I did for my first piece. I worked in acrylic. It's on blue paper. I wanted to make something that I thought other people could work off of (or into, or over) and interpret in many different ways. There's no right-side-up, I just picked a direction for the photo. I'm excited to see what happens with it!

From what I've seen, it seems everyone is working so differently, and seeing the project differently. It's so fascinating to see what you're all coming up with. I hope to see more images up on the blog soon!

So, this is what I did for my starter piece. I chose this color, chartreuse, because it's my favorite color and I like to surround myself with it. My bedroom in my apartment is painted this color and many of the things I put in it are as well. I wanted this piece to feel like home. I was thinking about the contrast between my life in NYC and a domestic one, which I fantasize about sometimes. I was thinking about needle point and things I associate with being a housewife. I made a grid of pinholes for this piece to simultaneously represent the ridged, industrial aspect of the city and also create a blank canvas for my fantasy life as a housewife.
(some of the holes look sparkley in this photo. it's some sort of effect from the camera. there are no sparkles, they're all pinholes)

This is the piece I got from Amanda, and I added more pinholes here. I wanted to stick with my original medium, at least for the time being. I decided to interpret her work as an abstract representation of clouds and sun. I made it rain.
