Progression of a semester.

So, this semester was completely self-guided in painting. I decided to explore the notion of human relationship with technology, our dependancy on, and how it interacts and effects our space.
 Saddly, a little after the quarter into the semester, I had a huge panic attack, destroyed all my work, and was left to finish 2 paintings within 2 weeks. The first two paintings are these works, and well..they aren't so great. I was working from digital photoshop collages, and just didn't seem to have the time to develope them the way I wanted.

This one is WAY more sucessful. It starts to convey what I want, and has some interesting ideas behind it.

For the second half of the semester, I switched gears, and worked on both paintings side by side. One, a more realistic painting, with more concept via color, composition and form. The other, an interrior space inspired by Rossen Crow, showing the fight of the digital plane vs a quiet, daily space.
