“The Center of Attention” happened after I randomly heard Britney Spears’ 2007 single “Gimme More”. My ears perked up when I heard the lyric, “The center of attention, even when we’re up against the wall”. Soon, I found myself giggling at the idea of drawing a dot surrounded by the word “attention”. Appropriately, that piece of art would eventually hang… against a wall.

The process for this piece was similar to “A Small Noise In The Midst of Silence”. I measured with a ruler to find the center of a 4 x 6 sheet of paper, then stenciled in the black circle in the center. I lightly penciled in a small white border around the circle, as well as the edges of the piece. Then, I rotated the paper and repeated the word “attention” in various lettering.

The pencil lines were erased, then the piece was scanned and edited for prints.

Is this piece available?

“The Center of Attention” is available in my online shop.

Prints can be found on INPRNT.
