Orange, (7/13)
2015-2017 Clear masking tape turned dark brown; clear bag stained orange; white packet of Midol pills turned yellow; white computer paper from upstairs computer lab. I printed the paper with an image of little girl with brown hair. She turned yellow; white computer paper was printed with black lines in the first semester of my second year at RISD. It laid on the floor after that until I graduated. I found it while I was moving out of the studio. When I found it, it had turned yellow; white paper towel turned yellow and also has beige, brown, and red stains; white computer paper printed with black lines cut out with exact-o knife; white foam core bought from RISD store was brought to my studio. I laid my hand on the foam and traced my hand and then cut out the outline of my hand with an exact-o knife and poured wood glue into the indentation. The wood glue mostly evaporated over time. The remaining wood glue formed a yellow shell over the white foam. Cold air made the yellow shell harden until it became like glass. The hand imprint fell to the floor at some point and then the glass shattered into pieces from trampling. Most of the hand fragments went missing. I found these yellow fingertips and put them in this block; white pillow filling turned yellow; white pillow filling turned red; white napkins (multiple of them) with peppery texture stuck together turned brown halfway down; white paper towel turned beige; white cup with red wave lines filled with beige paint, the beige paint filled the cup and also ran over the edges from overuse, the cup turned beige; white book with black text, words visible: “designing", “compartment","ornament formally known”, "universally exploded”, "adopted a beautiful variety”, "gracefully formed, delicately enriched”, "with propriety and skill”, " beauty to the whole by a mixture”, "and painted ornament"; yellow foam attached to triangle of wood; yellow wrapper to tampon; yellow layer is flaking away.
