Ink Blot Piece Reflection

This is the ink blot piece we did earlier in the semester. After seeing all of my pieces together, this is still my favorite artwork from this class that I did. I remember how I was super nervous squirting ink on my paper (which is a very light/pale yellow) and looking around at other classmates to see how  much ink to put and whether I was suppose to manipulate the ink in someway. I got very frustrated when I opened the paper and the ink looked like nothing to me. It is amazing that after a few minutes I saw a pelvis and skeleton parts which became so clear! I had also been spending a lot of time with my nephews during the fall (one who is a few months old) and it's one of the  most comforting, loving feelings in the world to hold a baby and have it smile at you. I think I embodied that feeling in this picture while also portraying a naked, raw body image. One that you can see inside and is exposed. It is interesting also because I sent this picture to my boyfriend last week and he said "is that the pain in your uterus?" I was amazed because even thought it was created months ago, that week I had a bad UTI. I feel like the blue life in my pelvis can represent a lot of things in my life, good and bad. I just feel very connected to this picture and I think it represents me well. I hope to frame it and put it in on my wall.
