This quarter I decided to investigate the work of Howardena Pindell. She was born Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Lives and works currently in New York, New York. She studied at Boston University and Yale University. She the taught at Yale University and now at State University of New York.
Pindell's work is interesting to me because of the layers of circles. Also, it s interesting to see how her work has adapted. I like how she reuses materials and uses a wide range of them: canvas, paper, paint, sewing material, etc. Pindell focuses on social issues like homelessness, AIDs, war, genocide, sexism, xenophobia, and apartheid.

This week, I finished up my piece. I decided to create layers with a background pattern that also followed through to the shapes on the surface.
This week I found that my piece kind of got ruined, so I had to take a different directions. With Coach Hall's guidance, I decided to cut up the original work into different pieces and started to rearrange them in different orders. I think next week I am going to add a background to the white paper and some of the shapes.
I think I have finished up my newer piece. I think next week I want to add some white lines in between the shapes or something else because I feel like it's missing something.
This week I felt kind of lost on what to do next, so I decided to start one larger piece and then work on a couple smaller ones to get some ideas out.
For this project, I wanted to work on layering. I did about 6-7 layer alternating between the white paint pen and a thin watered down black paint.
