Failed, Spring 2016
24” x 48” mixed media
This piece was made in slight reference to Mark Rothko and the Modernist movement. I enjoyed the idea of using color and size to convey a specific emotion, and, going through a particularly rough phase in my personal art, I wanted to replicate the feeling of failure. What ended up being more fascinating to me than anything else was that during the critique, a classmate’s friend visiting from Belgium thought of the Belgian bombings that had taken place only a week earlier, and I loved that my artwork, through its ambiguity, could relate to several ideas at once.
