"Triptych"

I'm feeling the pre-show jitters. I hang my show on Sunday and I'm nervous, yes very, very nervous. I had a very hard time yesterday with my work. I was just ripping myself and my work apart. I went through these moments of feeling inadequate and that my work wasn't going to be liked or accepted well. Ugh... I hate that.

I realize that this is all part of it.. but man it wasn't a good day. This morning my thoughts had turned and I realized that it doesn't matter and that I accomplished my goals. My art was made as an expression from my life, not for the feedback, positive or negative. If someone likes it.. great, if they don't, I suppose I did my job as well. Expressing art is subjective and changes all the time, just like we do.

anyway...

I must keep creating.

This is called "Triptych" I'm not going to over crowd the pics with comments but I will put them in order.

Below is what will be the bottom of the piece.

oooh.. blurry and lit up.

I have since put together more details, and the bottom of the box. I have also put about 3 layers of medium to seal it, which has given it a somewhat glossy appearance. Not sure If I love the glossiness but it works and the piece needed to evolve the way it did.

People think this is painted, it's not.. the whole thing is made from paper.
