Artists’ Book – Events and Narratives

The concept of my book is more like a personal event to me, for a long time I really like to say “I don’t know” to every question that asked me, and once I really want to figure out why, so that’s where this concept is came from.

For several pages there are some special designs in it. And these are pretty effective for me to like ask questions or to show some of my thoughts. Most of the things that shows my concept is the texts and paintings in the book.

The challenge for me is the team work part. Which my partner thinks out this concept, or say that we both found out that people in life they like to say “I don’t know” to every question. So there are plenty of reasons that we might say “I don’t know” to some kind of questions. But the way of presenting it we got some diversion. Whereas I want’s to just show my thinking process while she wants to present it in another expressing way. Then we decided to just work on our own and with this same topic is enough. Turns out, that was a pretty good strategy which we both did pretty well on our work and also our presentation.

Another challenge for me is the content of the painting. At the beginning I was struggling with whether I’m going to both draw it realistically and fully express my idea, or just only present my idea and not to think about the skill is good or not. At the end, I chose to fully express my idea but take less care on the realistic. Then when I made up my mind, I did it faster than be entangled with both give good skill and my idea to my painting.

what exaclly is “I don’t know”
I’m not sure either, but what I do know is that there are a lot of forms of
“I don’t know”
One of it is because you don’t take initiative to know some thing.
Are you?
Maybe you’re not.
These kind of people may think that the things are boring, meaningless. So that they don’t want to know.
Or maybe, you don’t want to know something because you already know too much, felling fear to tell anyone, so give them an answer that is called:
“I don’t know”
Sometimes, the question maybe too crucial for you to answer. Or the questions are too sensitive which makes you run away form it, instead of facing it.
something like this:
Or maybe the deep inside your heart was hurted by something.
Or maybe you actually know the answer but for some other reason you just don’t want to tell this guy.
“I don’t know, why would I know that……”
Inside you:” I know, it’s ……”
What if you just change your mind to know something that is happening.
What will happen after then?
Will it be different than you don’t?
This time maybe try not to block yourself away form the world, try to facing it directly. Stop covering yourself with”I don’t know”.
accept yourself, accept this world.
try to know everything
cause it might be different……
