  Warmth Digital Collage 1080 pixels x 1080 pixels "Kissing, we share one breath, open the sealed fortress of our body to our lover. We shelter under a warm net of kisses." A Natural History of the Senses, Diane Ackerman, p. 108-109 Statement:  This piece was inspired by the term net of kisses used in the book. The digital collage contains lips from men and women, several different races, and even different lipstick colors. When I think of the word net, I think of containment, inclusive, or a group, so I thought it was important to use a variety of lips to give a sense of inclusiveness.  The Inner Identity Posca paint markers, water color, and micron pen on watercolor paper 9in. x 12in. "[They have] an elaborate tattoo technique called  moko . . . One traveler described a tribal chief who prided himself on having spared no visible part of his body: even his lips, tongue, gums, and palate were completely tattooed."

  Artist: Louise Despont https://art21.org/watch/new-york-close-up/louise-despont-drawing-from-life-in-bali/ Words/Phrases That Describe The Artist's Work: enlightening and organic Artwork:  https://trendland.com/Louise-Despont-Esoteric-Geometry/ Line: This particular artwork relies on lines. Every line creates a new shape making a geometric yet abstract piece. There is also some repetition in the lines on the bottom and the sides that almost act as a creative picture frame. https://www.artsy.net/artwork/louise-despont-torch-ginger Focal Point/Emphasis: The artwork contains several dull colors in the background consisting of browns, yellows, and greens. The bright red in the middle within the flowers draws your attention to it and contrasts with the rest of the colors making it the focal point.

A Few Of My Favorite Things

Image
  1. A longboard fin because I found it on the beach one day when me and my dad walked out front of our house to watch the sunset years ago. It is a reminder of one of my favorite days I have spent with my Dad. 2. Amethyst because it is meant to relieve any stress or pain. I keep it in my bedroom at all times. 3. A shark tooth that I found here in St. Augustine. It is the biggest one I have yet to find so it I say favorite one so far. 4. A succulent to brighten up my art desk and give it some life. It is also a reminder to me that I need to not only slow down and take care of my plants, but also myself.  5. A flower of life coaster because it is a super important symbol to me. It is a constant reminder that everything is connected and everything happens for a reason. 6. My old passport because it has all of my stamps from traveling when I was younger. It is super nostalgic to flip through it every once in awhile.
