An enchanted arrangement of wildflowers, beasts and humans intertwined together in a fantasy world. I Know Who You Are and I Saw What You Did, by Lori Field is a hand drawn piece on paper using an ancient writing method called silverpoint. Lori’s style is a mixture of surrealistic, grotesque and contemporary pop. Her process consists of hand drawing either with silverpoint or color pencils and then uses wax to layer the drawings to create one piece like a collage. At first glance this piece captures the audiences eyes on the two women who are main characters. One woman is in full armor with her eyes closed while the other woman is floating next to her gazing upon her. The piece definitely has a surrealistic feel, almost like the audience is looking into the woman’s dream especially since the woman floating has a dress on with the words “I cannot sleep” written on it. Due to the specific symbols, objects, and animal imagery there is an intended hidden message intended for the audience to discover.

The book I am reading is called I Can’t Keep my Own Secrets by Larry Smith. Overall I think this book is amazing but it had a lot of twists and turns on each page one would be funny and then another one would be sad for example , “I've only been stable for months.” And then on the same page it would be like “I secretly watch Hannah Montana at night.” I feel like everybody can relate to this book in a certain way. At first I felt the book was going to be boring but then my teacher actually read it out aloud and I really liked the book so I checked it out and it was a very good book and very emotional at times.
