Landmark II Collage

5 monochromatic nude figures standing in a row with hair tied together against a rich blue & gold star filled sky. This image depicts the journey of life. They are in fact only 1 person. The tangled hair knot is the root, it's where you come from. It cannot be undone. As age proves, we all have experiences that change us over the years (some good, some bad). Those changes define who we are. Each experience, or landmark is notated by a change in form here. We have no idea where we are going, or where we will end up. All shading is done with ink & watercolor, fine details with colored pencil. Their moon is gold leaf, with gold leaf paint for stars. Final Touches: Three coats of satin finish UV sealer. This piece comes in a 1" wide x 3" deep black stained poplar frame; ready to hang with coated wire. General: Inspired by folklore, mythology & the human form, I use figural subjects to evoke a mysterious familiarity & haunting beauty. I build layers of antique & vintage paper collage mixed with my original ink washed drawings to create depth on wooden panels. I save and incorporate historical references through my use of collage, this element creates topical & textural details. Thematically I incorporate my love of the spirit as well as the strength of the feminine. I address symbolic, cultural, historical & spiritual themes with purposeful vagueness, allowing them to be familiar & curious to a variety of audiences. I want my work to be the beginning of a dialogue, not a confrontation.
