 Anna Kate Radford 1) Cigar box - I got it at an antique store with my cousins. It reminds me of fun afternoons with them.  2) Family Picture - The picture is of my great-grandparents and my great aunt. I decided to use this picture because my great-grandfather passed away this year and my grandmother gave me a bunch of pictures of him when he was young. 3) Waffle House Mug - In high school my brother and I and our friends would go to Waffle House in the middle of the night because it was the only restaurant that was open.  4) Black Brush Pen - This is just one of my favorite pens. It's really fun to use and I love drawing with it.  5) Ring - My parents gave me that ring when I was younger and I wear it every day. 6) String of Pearls - This is from a Halloween costume from a few years ago. It was the first time I had celebrated Halloween since I was little and it was a really fun night. 

  SFMOMA installation by Julie Mehretu Julie Mehretu - Layered - Political https://wsimag.com/art/41099-julie-mehretu - Gesture: Both canvases are covered in black gestural lines that create almost a cloud. - Movement: The jagged and seemingly random lines in this composition provide a strong sense of movement. Each individual line has movement and all together they seem charged as if they're about to move together in a swarm.  https://whitney.org/exhibitions/julie-mehretu - Space/Depth: The sharp graphic lines in this composition create a sense of space and depth in the piece. They seem to curve and push back into the picture plane.  - Contrast: The large bold shapes in color and the smaller organic lines in black create a sense of contrast. They are in direct opposition to each other and yet they flow together to create this piece beautifully.
