This project is a strong example of my enthusiasm for material exploration and innovation. Inspired by a hole-punch confetti accident, I decided to collage hundreds of individual paper circles onto the canvas. I love the movement and randomness they contribute to the piece. The hole punch circles’ layering effect in turn inspired me to play with other unconventional techniques: applying mounds of acrylic paint for a glossy texture and using a glue-stick’s outer rim as a stamp. Even with the inclusion of various textures and materials, I was able to maintain a sense of cohesion and fluidity. I achieved this by utilizing a consistent color palette and incorporating a repetitive dot pattern. Aside from material exploration, this piece highlights my imagination, which envisioned a parachute that transitions into a jellyfish as it descends. Overall, I believe this painting is reflective of my artistic spontaneity and creative curiosity.
