Seeing Things: A Junior Self-Portrait Diptych by Melisa Jones (2011)

I Am. I am dark and light. I wonder how the lines will connect. I hear the rustling grass. I see a black dog. I want to break free of all barriers. I am dark and light. I pretend to be the pencil. I feel the light breeze. I tough the cold metal. I worry about mistakes. I cry when the image escapes me. I am dark and light. I understand the wonder of creation. I say let's create something new. I dream of interacting lines and shadows. I try to see things that aren't really there. I hope to succeed someday. I am dark and light . For my diptych, I chose to capture the idea that something can be created out of anything and that inspiration can be found anywhere. As an artist, I have the urge to create and to create, I need inspiration. My first picture is of a lamp with the shadow of a dog. This represents my belief that something can be created out of anything. My second picture is a drawing of a girl and a dandelion in an actual field of flowers. This picture represents my idea of inspiration being found anywhere and that all you have to do is look around.
