In time, I stretched the canvas. I primed
the canvas. I put tape on the canvas. I painted the background of my canvas. I
peeled back the fragments of tape. I painted the painting. Then, I kept
painting until I had captured the feelings I had envisioned and experienced.
I marked my free time with the tape.
The white spaces revealed when the tape was peeled back, represent my free
time. I tried to avoid covering them up, or adjusting their shape. I enjoy the
rough edges the tape created because it expresses how unsure my free time is.
I continued the investigation of time
on slate, and a thing (a kind of fungi), I found from the Glen. The floor piece
represents time itself, with the layers of material that formed over time.
The canvas is focused on my physical
feelings, and the slate focuses on more invisible internal feelings: the
overwhelming pressure of the academics at Antioch, and the big life steps I
have taken leading me to Antioch.
