Project 2 Artist Statement- Dana Hatchett


           
                                                                    Artist Statement         
  Overall, for Project Two I wanted to make a piece that was visually attractive as well as having the film send out an abstract message. The movie is called “Paint” because there is an obvious use of paint and, in particular, the color black. The clip at the beginning of this piece is intended to foreshadow the direction of where the film is going. The rose is used to represent the delicateness of life and hope. At the beginning, the actress is looking at the rose to signify hope. Then the black paint starts to pour and cover the rose, putting weight on the delicate rose.

            The paint on the rose represents the loss of hope. It’s used to signify that sometimes in life, things don’t work out like they should.  The rose can be used as an interpretation of anything fragile, like life, relationships, good times, bad times, etc. The rose was a bit shaky, so sometimes it was difficult to keep the camera in focus at the same time I was holding the bottle of paint and shifting the tripod. Overall, I enjoyed the process of this project.
