Do you see right through me? I see right through me.
Student
statement
To make this artwork, I took the idea of not taking prescribed medications, and I used prevalent anxiety and inner insecurities that swarm the mind when not on proper medication. Hence, the repetition of, “Do you see right through me? I see right through me.”
I used acrylic paint, magazine paper, digital images, and a permanent marker for this work. I painted the woman’s face separate from the border of paint strokes and rectangles. I digitally edited the pieces and put them together in Photoshop before adding an overlay of nerves. I had to experiment with several different images of nerves before finding the right one as well.
Teacher
statement
Suzette Spinelli
Abigail Cutler is a very independent thinking student, with an amazing strong insight into what her creative process will become, each time she works on her selected art. Abigail is a student that can mentally visualize something from real life into a profound work of art. Her experience is not the final art but a trigger for a new idea. This helps her create art that becomes higher-level, incorporating critical thinking skills that she thrives upon. Abigail is driven with an underlying emotional connection within her art, where she is flexible with no boundaries. She also has a strong commitment to follow through with any issues that will arise and work through the issues, experimenting with multi-layers of thinking and mixed media. Abigail is always seeking moments of astonishment.
