"Night Terrier"
I created two pieces for this project. The first piece (which I renamed after the critique) is entitled "Night Terrier". Throughout my life I have had the unfortunate (or fortunate) experience of night terrors. These very disturbing dreams have plagued me throughout most of my life and therefore, my art, has in many cases been a direct expression from them. I had a dream about a dog (who looked much like my own) running circles around me, and he had a house attached to his side. And, every time I tried to help him, he would bite me. This dream really haunted me, and I decided to make a piece about it. While I never intended for the viewer to experience what I did in making this, I think it might somehow stir up some kind of disturbing emotion within the viewer.
