General Vicinity (2016)

With two prior art pieces under my belt at this point, I wanted to take a step forward with layout. I have always been intrigued with crafting a boarder to a piece, so that was a clear intention. I am not sure where the idea for separating out the piece into 3 sections came from, but I guess it makes sense. What was I trying to communicate with this piece? I wanted to portray being on the road to somewhere better, and do that in an abstract way. No matter where you are at the time, you can take the road to better yourself. There is a relativity about this. This lead to the name ‘General Vicinity’.

Supplies:

Circuitus (2016)

After my first piece, PRIMUM, I immediately jumped in to craft a 2nd piece. I wanted it to be more dynamic and bigger. You can see the early stages of my preference for using black up against bright colors, my use of shapes, and attempt at crafting perspective.

Once the piece was finished and I was looking at it, the triangles reminded me of circuits. I researched the name and came across the word circuitous which means “not being forthright or direct in language or action”. This seemed fitting for a second art piece that really had no direction other than me wanting to continue creating. I condensed the name to just ‘Circuitus’.
