Breaking Out
This was my senior thesis project that was completed in December 2004.
The painting was done in oil
house paint on an actual unprimed chicken house curtain. The finished
painting measured fifty feet in length and stood almost eight feet tall.
The subject matter of the piece, and the thesis paper that accompanied
the piece, dealt with my struggles with being an extremely shy person
and the fact that as I was getting ready to leave college I had let my
shyness and fears of rejection get the best of me and had really missed
out on befriending and getting to know a lot of great people.
