There's something about these massive structures that can make me feel both very small and very young. "Capacity of objects to serve as traces of authentic experience." This was one of the first articles published about my husbands band. Narrow Magazine is made up of a bunch of great guys that spread the word about local musicians. I remember everyone being so excited about this brief moment that everyone else in St. Augustine has forgotten about by now, but I can still hold onto this excitement in print. "The souvenir reduces the public, the monumental, and the 3D into the miniature that which can be enveloped by the body." This was a plaster mold of my face the first time I attempted art school.

Painting II POst 3

During this week I began to struggle to balance my time. I did not make much progress on my painting. I went back into the tomatoes and worked more detail into them.

10/19/18 This week I decided to go larger with my painting. I also decided to stop confronting the issues I've been having with backgrounds. I went for a plain white background with a giant pie. I really enjoyed painting this way. I was able to put all of my time into the detail of the pie. I decided at the last minute to add a shadow, but I might not do that for the next painting. I still included embroidery, I feel like its even less viewable than the last painting. The artists that I was looking at this week was Wayne theibaud. I was thinking about how he handles backgrounds and I decided to give it a shot. I'm happy about the outcome, and I think I want to keep going this route.
