I started this piece with a thin wash of acrylic paint to give an aged look to the paper. The multi colored shapes represent happiness, positive thoughts and fun times. The nostalgic treatment of the paper brings a certain amount of innocence and naïveté surrounding the joy of the shapes. The happiness of the geometric images seems vulnerable. While created for Project 1O3 this piece was one of more than 25 works that haven’t been with a second artist.
Like parties and friendships that are sometimes replaced I painted a completely different piece of art hiding what was once on top.
