    More Than One Person
    Fame is more than one person. By being famous I am -- I produce -- something that is
    more just me. In the artwork shown, there is a dark figure
    outlined by another lighter colored figure. The dark figure is
    the core, or original person; within the lighter figure which is
    the fame and fortune -- a caricature of my core self.
    Surrounding the lighter figure are the experiences shown in
    small illustrations. The small images surrounding the figures
    shows us memories and experiences taken to get to the
    outside figure. In the chest region of the dark figure, we
    see two faces facing each other which represent the inner
    figure and outer figure facing each other on moral and
    physiological differences. However, in the head we see two
    figures holding hands showing us unity. The idea that lighter
    figure is person you come across as, but is not as raw as the
    darker figure that is inside.
    Two years ago, I was in a production of Godspell.
    The cast is made up of Jesus and Judas/John the Baptist
    and then nine other main cast members. The nine other
    main cast members were not given names but used their
    own name and were defined by the song they sang. This show used the personalities of the
    cast members, made them bigger and then defined to create the followers of Jesus. In the

    artwork shown above, the dark figure represents the actor/actress playing the role and the light
    figure represents the character they created in the show to make the show better.
    In life, I will not get anywhere without taking a risk somewhere; I have to have a leap of
    faith in myself to get from one state of being to another. On the left side, there is a small image
    of a face on fire with another a person leaping to grab something. Sometimes what is on the
    inside has to be compromised, changed or set ablaze to justify the end. Because in the end, all
    that is left are the decisions I made to get there. To be famous there must be a leap -- a leap
    from person to character, a leap from character to character, a person to fame, but a leap none
    the less.
