Description Worked on in: 9th grade

Title of piece: "Primative Creatures that Ingest Order and Excrete Chaos"

Dimentions: w->5.75” h->11”

Identifying description: Black and white patches surrounded by worm-like creatures, filled with "Escher meets cubism" stairs and other structures.

What's going on: The title is a pretty good description here. Essentially, a sack-like "chaos bomb" includes hundreds of "eggs" that host rapid-growing worm-like creatures that actually eat through reality. They eat through in a radial pattern, assumedly over one 2D "plane". Color is the nutrient, which they soak up almost all the way. They feed on order, perspective, and form, and excrete a chopped-up version of it. This is why there is no color or consistent direction in side the holes- they've already eaten that part.

Medium: Acrylic on canvas

Note: This is actually a picture of a photocopy of the original, and not all of this is shown- there are a couple of inches to the right that were lost when this copied due to size limits of the machinery.

Another note: I did this before I knew about Escher, so was not trying to copy his style. It frustrated me when my art teacher back then suggested I was when I showed it to her.

Your imagination is insane (in a good way). It's amazing how your arrived at the same method of exploring chaos independently of Escher.

Thanks. I got a B- or C on it, though.

Really though, for what the assignment was I deserved it. I didn't go by the specifications close enough. We were supposed to do a cubism painting of the stairs at our school. (And only part of mine is stairs). Also, I didn't include enough negative space in this so it has sort of a flat, messy look.

I think the composition is better in this version I posted because this is only part of the piece.
