ARTIST STATEMENT

My title for the first assignment, “Visual Expression” is Rejected. So many things I can describe as “rejected” such as when someone was rejected by the person he/she loves before, when the boss rejected proposal of his/her employee  in front of other staff and also when artworks of student was rejected by the lecturer. It feels bad right? We will feel disappointed, upset, angry, depressed and other negative feelings. The message that I want to tell is we have to be strong, persevere and determined even tough we faced a lot of problems and rejected in daily life.

ARTWORK TREATEMENT

For my artwork, I used materials such as nails, wooden board, Bostik glue, balloon, a row of long wooden light, shalex and small brush. First thing, I booked a 10x10 inch from wooden as the base for my artwork. Second step, I bought a lot of nails. Random size which is I used small, medium, and longer nails. I glue the nails with Bostik glue on wooden board and I put it on random place. After finished it, I shalex on the wooden board using small brush. Next step, I cutted a bit a row of long wooden light as a pole to attach the balloon and then I hang the ballon in the pier. Next, I put a pieces of balloon that has exploded on the part of the nail. So overall, my artwork is about the feelings when we rejected. The nails represented as a subject or the person those who reject our works, love or something else. I used a balloon to represented as the heart and the red of balloon colour as a colour of the heart. While I used the pieces of balloon that has exploded to show that is apparently how we feel when we are rejected. The hanging red balloon represented as the heart or feelings of person will be rejected. I just put the red balloon swinging at the corner of wooden board to show nervousness and rumbling when a condition that is likely we will be rejected.
