Eve Statement - Collaborative Project

 

 Previously I have worked on realistic and expressionistic paintings to depict female portraits who have inspired me to be a strong woman. By making their portraits I feel connected to fearless female artists who strive to follow their passion in creating art as well as advocating feminism through their work. 

​

   The main subject matter for this project was Eve from Adam and Eve. How I look at Eve is a woman who was very curious and eager for knowledge.  

​

    In this mixed media collaborative project with Rizaldy, we used clay to create snake sculptures and then with photographs of women, leaves, and snakes we created a digital collage. The collage was then printed on two dimensional watercolor paper to be handled with traditional paint mediums. I especially enjoyed creating colorful paints and dynamic strokes to show bursts of energy to depict the awakening moment of Eve.
