Artist Statement: For my transformation drawings, I really wanted to step out of my comfort zone, and be able to experiment with different types of medium. In the first week, I chose to experiment with chalk. The abstraction along with the choice of colors inspired me to draw on a larger scale. The second week I used black and red acrylic paint. I was heavily inspired by scientific studies such as the amoeba. The week after that I covered the piece with spray paint gesso, giving the surface a rough texture, and began to use emerald green ink. I have inspired by linguistic relativity and wanted that to show. As I began to get tired of 2D surfaces, I chose to cut it. Organic shapes are shown weekly in my drawings, and it is visibly in my choice of shapes that I cut, and stack on top of each other. The last week, I cut them up again, and weaved them back together. I was inspired by one of my classmates pieces, for that she is very into weaving and textiles.
