Abstract-theories Series: Piecing back

  • Mickiela Christian

Pieces of yourself that you'd like to meet more frequently are nurtured as you go through the process of piecing yourself back together. As if reassembling oneself would be a meticulous, reverent, and unpleasant task. An abstract interpretation of how you might be perceived, depending on who's looking, is created by weaving together all the aspects of yourself that you enjoy, despise, and leave unexplored. Materials used: CD, Gesso, and Acrylic paint This is one of the few pieces I explored when I didn't have enough cash to purchase canvases so I figured I'd go into my drawer and pull out old CDs. What a perfect way to upcycle plastic. This is still one of my favourite artworks to this day and I hope to develope similar projects soon!
