Like Sue, Yolanda's favorite color is blue. I had the pleasure of reading about a day in the life of a woman living in Paris, France.
I can't really express what this project means to me at the moment. It is so fascinating getting to know someone through a portrait, hand writing and a diary of his/her day. I am starting to track the statistics behind each participant's day and hope to have some sort of graph when I have a few more pieces complete.
I most excited right now about the possibility of starting to show some of the work in group exhibitions. I have another work that has one more layer of color to go and then I will start to submit the work. I really want this work to get out there because I feel like it has the possibility of speaking to a great deal of people. It is more vulnerable, personal, intimate and honest than my past work and I think that will pay off in the end.
I would love to know what you think!
Very cool! I love the handwriting as the background. I'd love to read it up close! So lovely. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Katrina. Hopefully I can get in a show in your neck of the woods and you can spend the day getting to know strangers through their handwriting!
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased with what you have done with my self-portrait and writing.
ReplyDeleteSeeing Sue's first, I did not expect to see my pages in inverted order. Was that intentional?
Hi Yolanda, I am so happy that you like the work. I was wondering if anyone would notice the pages had been switched. To be honest, I really love the handwriting of the date and place and did not want that to be hidden when I made the print. It just made more compositional sense on the right hand side. I also like the idea of someone discovering that the pages have been inverted. I think it gives a little bit of intrigue and layering to the work. Thank you for the comment.
