Final Panel
My goal for this multiple panel was to create a piece which invites you into an unknown yet familiar space of whimsical comfort. A lot of my inspiration came from elements of my childhood and aspects of my grandmothers (Nana's) art which molded the artist I am today. I also took inspiration from artists Robert Rauschenberg and Madeline Meyer and how they use elements of textiles in their artwork. I started with creating the panels I would use as the windows or glass in the doors. I used acrylic paint on a plastic lid where I could create my design ad wait for the paint to dry. It was challenging because its easier to work foreground to background so your design stayed crisp. Once the paint puck windows dried, they could be easily peeled off, and then sewn onto additional panels of fabric. When painting the windows I took inspirations from the patterns of fabric my grandmother uses for her art. When doing art with my Nana we never failed to include every craft supply we could find, yarn, sequins, charms, elastic, scrap fabric, and buttons to create extravagant pieces which I always felt a sense of comfort and warmth from. I wanted to create that same nostalgic feeling, including elements of buttons and soft fabrics to bring to life the feeling I get when entering my Nana's house. As I continue my journey in exploring perception, I hope this piece invited you to look at things around you with fresh eyes, new angles, and different perspectives.
