Perspective. The whole of this peice very possibly could be sumed up in the singular word, perspectove. When asking for ideas before I began the project, every one gave me a dofferent opinion, and even afterwards, I still received ideas that were different from my own. Though I was familar with acrylic, this peice taught me to layer, blend, layer, repeat. As I attempted to recreate the look of old wood on the peice. The drivig idea behind the peice, was the cross. From the perspective of many, it is a fencepost, keeping them in. Bordering their lives, and restraining them from being free. To the perspective of others, it is a lantern, a comfort, and a resting place.
Hopefuly, one can look upon the peice and be comforted, not set on edge, and realize, though a fence post the cross may be, it is one that protects us from something much worse.
As a girl I often found myself inspired from the world around me and from the people I knew to do things and to create new stories. Most of all however, to challenge others and myself in order to change the world around me to the better. In the past few years this inspiration has ceased to flow from humanity, and instead from the small things that God tweaks each day that just remind me, that he's there.
