Artist Statement:

          For this project, I decided to not plan anything ahead and just make random marks and use any supplies that are available to me. By letting go of the planning aspect of this project, I felt as if I had more freedom and that I could experiment more. Using a lot of different mediums such as ink, charcoal, graphite, acrylic, spray paint, & gesso, I created 6 different transformations that explore the experimental side of my brain. The first transformation I experimented with stone rubbing. For the second transformation I experimented with splattering paint. The third transformation I experimented with rearranging and cutting shapes. The forth transformation I experimented with texture. For the fifth transformation I experimented with turning 2-D into 3-D. And for the final transformation I experimented with applicability and crafting.  Each transformation has given me the freedom to try some techniques and materials that I've been curious about, and therefore I call this project a learning experience.
