exploring how afraid people are of emotional attachment

and the lengths they go to in order to avoid it 

I kind of want to explore conflicting opinions of people. For example, how I view someone when they have upset me versus when I think highly of them.  I’m considering having two thoughts, one from each mindset, maybe on tracing paper overlapping each other… with or without an illustration.

I think I might try it based on what I have written in old journal entries to see if it is worth pursuing and then have it be an ongoing project.

It’s so interesting how drastically my opinions of people change and then return to how they were before.  I’m sure other people can relate.

Yay new followers.

I want to actually make more things to post here, especially now that I have people to see them.

My school has a juried student art show and this year they decided to give away monetary prizes to the top 3 pieces and 1 honorable mention.  I knew I wouldn’t be upset whether I won or not because there was so much incredible work.  I just think it’s a little bit ridiculous to choose 4 pieces out of an entire exhibit and then rank them in order when all of them are completely different types of work.

Comparing paintings to each other is one thing, but comparing a geometrical wood and string wall piece to an oil painting is like comparing apples to oranges.  It doesn’t mean one is any better than the other.  They were not trying to be the same thing so how can you even measure their success, especially without speaking to the artist about their intent.

Art is just so subjective and everyone is going to feel differently when viewing work.  It’s not clear cut enough to make such definite judgments, in my opinion.
