Jo's Book


Jo’s triangular book; Last week when I went to church the sermon was about getting out of your comfort zone for the betterment of yourself and your community. This book, I can see already will force me to leave my comfort zone, in terms of media, topic and all of the above. It could not have come to me at a better time as I began to look more closely at where the lines are drawn in my comfort zone and when and how do I allow myself to cross that line and step out on faith. Building confidence in your abilities and yourself starts from freely going back and forth across that line until you know in your heart that what ever you put your ability and effort towards wholeheartedly will undoubtedly work out.  The result of my dice throwing led me to use pens in all colors, it was self-inspired (my portrait) with an emphasis on repetition (reference to my new grey hairs) while being extravagant. I had to use an unacceptable color( gold) and also honor thy error as a hidden intention (the arrow). It was a challenging and evolutionary experience. This would also make a great project for students. I enjoyed working within the confines of a triangular shape.
