First official project of Chuck's class. This was a continuation of the "sense of place" project we were doing a couple weeks ago. He changed it into a self portrait assignment, so we were able to either start anew or continue this project.
I liked this project because I was able to show the difference between the warm, cozy nostalgia of home and the not so cozy sense of my apartment (despite my best efforts!). I experimented with a lot of processes on this raw canvas such as painting (acrylic and watercolor), collage, and embroidery. My fingers were raw after this. Hand-sewn pieces are not to be taken lightly! The experience that I get when working with the fabric, making it softer and laying it over my legs as I work, is the best part I believe.
Each panel is approximately 19.5"x32.5".
Planning on making some shadow boxes for these puppies over Spring Break!
