I created this image as a challenge to myself to learn more about abstract art. My teacher, Ms. Chatham Kemp, suggested that I begin my journey by generating interesting shapes and by using various shades of black, white, and gray. In the end, I spent roughly 9 hours on the project and feel as though I greatly benefited from the experience. Not only did I learn how visually powerful chaos can be in a painting, but the effects it has on people. Some individuals that I showed the painting to felt overwhelmed by the chaotic expressions of the mass of bubbles in the upper left hand corner; Other individuals weren't affected at all by the image. I suppose some people enjoy chaos more than others. Personally, I view chaos as a friend. There is no escape from chaos, whether in art, or in day to day activities, one must learn to cope with chaos.
