Editing this picture has taken longer than expected. I forget how easy it is to just play around with the different drawing utensils on the iPad, and then just delete it all with the click of a button. I added the pink shadowed when I edited the picture on my iPhone. I ultimately chose this one because it has a dynamic energy to it, and I like the way I am interacting with the house in a way that makes it seem 3D, rather than just a flat piece of cardstock. Right now, I am exploring how I want to incorporate text into the image itself, which is one of my goals for this project. I had initially planned on the text decorating the house like paint or siding, but that idea doesn't translate well into this specific image because of the way the arm blocks the left side of the house. I want to continue using pinks, blues, and purples, so I just added the glowy-pinkish writing to give myself a visual. I was thinking about what it would look like to make the text form the shapes of the door and windows because it would add to the dimensionality and sort of optical illusion of the house, but I haven't been able to find a technique that seems formal enough for the effect I am trying to create. I am going to spend some time figuring out exactly what I want to say, first, before I make a decision on the placement of the text. I think I want to communicate an idea about how your mind is your space, your house, and you should feel safe there. However, sometimes the foundation crumbles a bit, or the organization of the rooms no longer fit your style. This does not mean that you should be apologetic, but try to find the comfort in the vulnerability of opening yourself up to people, airing out the windows a little bit. Sometimes we want to just rip up our house, erase all the thoughts from our head and start anew, but that's pretty much impossible.
