I am happy to share this finished piece with you beautiful souls!
"Spring 2002: First Time I Saw Justin"⠀
2017. Acrylic, Crayon, Colored Pencil on Mixed Media Paper. 18"x24".⠀
In this piece I explore how my mind organizes a very short but very special memory. Through creating this, I’ve learned about how I recall and prioritize stimuli from very short bursts of time.
The way I deal with remembering color is fascinating to me. It's also funny realizing I can remember a fact about a moment but not be able to establish a stable visual for it in my head. In this memory, I know my high school Newspaper teacher was present at this moment but I don’t know what he was doing or wearing (hence the word "OLSON"). The word, rather than a visual is a trigger for a fact.
If you want to know more about this piece, you can check my recent blog entry on the process and thought behind it.
Thanks for checking it out!
