The song I based this piece off of is In Time by Kris Allen. He wrote the song after he got into a car crash and broke his wrists and had to relearn how to play guitar, which he previously used as a coping mechanism in his life. In the song he says "in time I'll learn, and in time I'll heal" showing his dedication to relearning how to cope. My idea for the piece was to have the front view of a dashboard with a person's hand on the wheel to symbolize the moment before the crash, and have a guitar shaped air freshener to show how the crash affected his ability to play. In the windshield I found words that I felt like pertained to the song like "crush" or "future". Then I did a blue acrylic wash over it to make the words look more together. Lastly I added a crack in the windshield. I really like how this piece turned out. Finding all the words were a pain, but it looks really cool. Some things I had trouble with in this piece as I do with all pieces involving acrylic, is blending. Though I felt like I improved with my blending with this piece. I had to work fast and do many layers to get the look that I wanted in the hand and in the wheel.
