I've been extremely sick for the past few days. Every single thing that I ate gave me a completely debilitating stomach ache.
Timing could not have possibly been worse. It's rediculous.
I had to stop eating to get anything done. On top of not sleeping. By yesterday, I was shaking pretty hard, which makes drawing difficult. I didn't finish everything. I didn't have time to throw together a portfolio.
But I'm not going to worry about it anymore, because it's completely out of my hands now.
I didn't have time to scan my drawings, so I can only post half of my pieces:
1. A composition involving three unrelated objects in an unexpected juxtaposition.
2. A full figure self portrait defined by markings of experiences/events.
I don't have any sort of picture of the piece I sent in, but it was based on this (from my sketchbook):
Only instead of Sylvia Plath quotes, death cab quotes, and rambling questions regarding the meaning of life, I wrote fragments of memories. And it's more proportianately accurate. And the monster under my bed is much better.
3. A space as viewed from inside of a machine.
This one was fun. It really wouldn't have worked with anyone other than Beca and Drew.
4. A series or sequence defining the boundary between subject and object.
These are mounted on a long piece of black paper and sort of accordian out. They're mounted pretty badly- I did it at the very last minute. I forgot about the size limitation when I printed them, and had to cut off about an inch and a half of the last picture. It hurt.
5. Toxicity
I wish I had a picture of this, it was probably my best one. ha.
6. Design a currency based on a global perspective.
Let's take a moment to reflect on HOW INSANE THAT PROMPT IS.
Okay.
I don't have any record of this one either. I barely had time to do anything for it at all.
But it was based on the thought of karma being a currency of sorts.
Oh kay. I really don't think I'm going to get in. But everything's going to be okay, because mica and chicago have already accepted me. This is me not worrying.
