            I didn't know where to start for today's Processing blog. Calgary weather has been making me sick physically and mentally empty(not really). I read the chapters from last week's lecture and wanted to do spirals and colour changes.  While doing this code, I realized that the heart shape is staring at its original xy axis. I'm not quite sure how to stop that from appearing before the mouse.

                This exercise was sort of a review for me. The gradient colours of the rectangles are something I just learned in class but when I read the Processing site, there is a different way to do gradients but it looked complicated. I could've copy pasted some codes but I want to understand how it works. I'll probably use this code again but add motions to it to make it more of an eye sore.  Here's the code I used: size(1000,1000);                                        //size of window background(0);                                          //BGcolor // GRADIENT RECTANGLES ORANGE TO PINK for(int x = 0; x < 1000; x += 10){ fill(252,130,x/4,50); rect(0,x,x,x);                  ...

     My work is mostly inspired by lines and body horror, especially the eyes. I enjoy using bright colours in my work to balance out the "weirdness". There is an aesthetic that I am learning more about which is Traumacore. The subject of this genre is about abuse or trauma intersecting it with childlike or angelic motifs. Traumacore is often frowned upon in the aesthetic community as it can be seen as a fetishization of a serious issue but for survivors, it can be a coping mechanism. Currently, I do not have any works that relate to this aesthetic and they are mostly "creepy cute".  Creepy Cute is a different kind of aesthetic where horror combines with adorable motifs.  A lot of my older works were done in ink but as years passed by, I experimented with other mediums. My current practices are embroidery, pyrography and clay sculptures. 2016 Ink 2017 Ink 2019 Pyrography 2019 Clay sculpture 2020 Digital Illustration 2020 Embroidery 2020 Ink 2020 Hand painted je...
