Pseudo-Self

April 8, 2015 ASAA

Title of Art Piece: Pseudo-Self
Category: Painting – 2015
Student/Artist’s Name: Jori Reynolds-Dovell
School: East Anchorage High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement: In naming this piece, I had to think long and hard. The first question I broached within myself was, “What does this piece of art I have created mean to me?” I took the picture I used as a reference at the bus stop with no prior thought or intention to create art. If I was being totally honest, it didn’t mean much to me. Not enough for the naming process to be easy for me. But I had created this piece, and put a part of myself into it. The piece deserved a name. Once I named it Psuedo Self, I found it meant more than I’d originally thought. With the amount of layering and redesign I’d done, it held a shroud of mystery. A light-eyed, smiling girl with no connections to reality, I found I related to the piece more than I did the face I saw in the mirror every day.
