Momento

For the Momento piece, my memory was from the time I was 10. I had stayed the night over at a friend's beach condo. Day turned to night and we decided to play hide and go seek tag. I was up first and when I found him, we both ran for it. I chased him down a few flights of stairs and as he headed into the pool area, he opened the gate and slammed it behind him. He did not realize how close I was to him. I had a huge gash on the right side of my face and there was so much blood that my friend's dad thought my eye was gone. I started by trimming down a piece of random wood from the woodshop down to a 6 inch by 6 inch block.

I then took foam core board and cut pieces of sharp triangles. 

I then took masking tape and covered the six inch block. I took my watertown ink set and painted the tape a brown color and then as a reflection of the blood, I splattered paint on top of the piece.
