Artistic Statement

The main portion of the photo is the easel with the words “insert clever drawing”, symbolizing the idea that I know what the painting will mean, but I don’t know what it will look like. This is not necessarily relating to a literal painting, but more of the big picture ideas, like life. Therefore, I know what I want my outcome in life to be, but I don’t know what it will look like nor how I will “paint it”. This relates to the over-sized pencil, which is being used for the “painting of life” (I guess you call it that now). As one can imagine it is quite difficult to write with this pencil. So it will not be easy to finish this painting. I feel that having a sense of time while finishing the “painting of life” would be a good idea. But the main reason for the pocket watch is that I think pocket watches are cool. My face is darkened in order to show that while going through life I won’t truly know what I will be at the end. Therefore, I won’t know what I’ll look like.
