the Prospect has its foundation on the treatment
of reflections of the past. This is made by sticking notes
together from notebooks for the past year. Notebooks are expressions
of the state of mind. This is where new knowledge is recorded
combined with expressions of the conscious and subconscious
of the beneficiary. When the pen hits paper, it is difficult
to not end up drawing something of which one has no conscious
control over. It is the affirmation of being, whereby the
state of living in two worlds is recorded. One world, responds
by recording the immediate environment, and the other world
responds to the tumults and triumphs of the dream state.
The materials used for the base sheet were 64 sheets of notes
and assignments taken from classes over the last year. The
classes which fueled my stream of thoughts are the following:
Theories of Persuasion, Account Planning, Creative Strategies,
Integrated Communications Management, Portfolio 1 (advertising),
and Enigma of Predication. All these classes are instrumental
to the advancement of my knowledge, and were chosen to corner
in my desired future in a rewarding career in advertising.
The painting which coalesces the combined notepages employed
Black India Ink and acrylic paints mixed with water. The usage
of dry brush and wet brush were constantly interchanged to
create the overall effect of the constant contraction and
expansion of the mind. There was no intended subject matter
to the main painting. The only intention was to let myself
loose after perusing through my notepages and see where it
takes me. So in the same unconscious technique of drawing
on the notepages, my hand combined with the prevision (which
comes roughly 3 seconds before the brush hits the paper) in
my head led to the composition that was created.
