This is the first full painting that i did this semester. I tore the canvas into separate strips, then using needle and thread i sewed the pieces back together in order to create a riff that could possibly interrupt or work hormoniously with the image that i was going to place upon it.

The medium used for this was some very old Latex house paint that i found in the basement of my house when i was moving out this summer. this thought of using something that most people would disregard opens up an interesting conversation between the mat, old, expired paint and the big abandoned factory type building that is portrayed in the image. Although i Painted this on an unstretched canvas, i do plan to stretch it in the coming days, in order to give the piece a bigger presence when it is displayed.
