I Hate Boxes
Well, first off I didn't want this piece to a transitional abstract piece; I wanted to approach it with an edge and difference. For one thing, I hate boxes. I hate putting things in it, I hate being put into them as a student or writer or person; So I wanted the lines to not really make sense and have to look for the definition of each box. There are three boxes with each of the symbols in them.I used Wingdings also, so the font isn't even the typical letters but rather symbols. I used my initials in this and represented them or me as a symbol rather than a name or letters. I loved working in the shades rather than color because it gives a feel of balance rather than a typical emotion, which color can sometimes pull out.
I started with triangles partly because of the symbol Wingdings gave me and partly because I wanted the shapes to go somewhere. They ended up moving from these understood shapes and move into more abstract; its like entering the abstraction from something that we are comfortable with.
