Title: Ghost "Boo" 

Location: Next to my room door. 

This to me is an accidental artwork, i was doing 

spring cleaning and i saw this i looked at it and i laughed and said it looked like a ghost. There isn't any geometric shapes and there aren't any lines either. What i do see is that there is a lot of negative space and postive around the ghosts face.There is a use of cool colors like the black eyes and mouth and it is a monochromatic since there is only black and white and a few other stains around. The texture on this artwork is rough since the white is painted on wood and the face of ghost feels like wax, because it seems more like burn marks there are also some shading in between the eyes. This is also a 2D artwork since i cant go around it.There isn't much of a pattern since there aren't any shapes used her or color, except the white and black. In my opinion this artwork is very ironic to see or have been made accidental to seem like a ghost face, there is a background story to where i live there were some deaths in my household before we even moved in.There were stories told to us from other people who use to live next door that they would see some werid occurances happening in my house. My parents told me that when we moved there room was filled with mirrors and just a chair in the middle. My room was a mess there were a lot of locks on the doors. My mom use to tell me that they would hear noises in the kitchen while they slept and kept hearing someone trying to come into the room, as if someone was playing with the door knob, things would move around sometimes, But it wasn't just the first floor but upstairs too, one day it got to a point where my brothers and my bestfriend heard a girl scream inside my room while we were all asleep, that got my little brother startled and my parents and the owner decided to bring a priest to the house to cleanse it. This artwork reminded me of the occurncess that had happened in my house. This happened when i was three and 16. The eyes and mouth seems to have been made with incense burning through onto the wood, which has created the burn marks of eyes and mouth. There may not be a lot of artistic uses on this artwork but when i look at it to me it looks like art because of what was created. I do feel there are organic shapes like the mouth and eyes since they aren't perfect circles. There are other type of scrapes around it but nothing to really make out as lines except the one over the face it looks like a shadow. The value of it is light as if it was shining around it while the other is dark. This to me was a very interesting thing and ironic to have in my room. It sure will be a reminder and something to look at when i clean my room.
