Blue (7/10)
2015-2017 White yarn was put in a cup of watery purple acrylic paint. The purple paint ran up the string, turning the string purple. The watery portion evaporated leaving only the purple acrylic paint mush at the bottom of the cup. The wet paint hardened. I yanked the string from the cup. Out came the string attached to the paint which had hardened into a small disk shape. The disk felt like a smooth rock and the string felt like hair. It felt good in my hand so I carried her around in my coat pocket. While driving, she was sitting in the passenger seat beside me nestled in papery pieces coddled by three open containers of different kinds of drinks filled to different levels. A cup of coffee burst open and spilled on her hair and gave her brown streaks; teal folder from first class at RISD used as mat for exact-o cutting turned brown from sitting on the floor; light blue bed sheet partially turned white from bleach accident; blue, ripped piece of dust pan stained orange; blue tarp turned grey; grey, metal spoon from Goodwill turned brown from sitting on the floor; metallic wrapper of some kind of food ...put in plaster. |
