Another piece from Sunday. I was thinking of actually putting this one somewhere around the city. I've been liking the scratching aesthetic, and though you don't have the control I think it creates some very interesting relationships between positive and negative mark-making.
Actually, that lack of control might be something that I really like about the tactic...it's creates linework that was not totally intended, and so, creates objects that may not even mean what I intended. It's furthering the idea that the artwork is not given power by me, the artist, but by the interaction between the piece and the viewer...
The Title, as of now, "Institutional Blue" can connect to a number of things. The color, which resembles a pale blue often associated with clinics, mental hospitals...and then the scratching brings forth a more primal, instinctual mark-making.
