About The Artwork
Sylvia Plath is a muse for many of my paintings. I have incorporated her words and stories as they speak to me and my anxieties. Having read "Red Comet", the newest biography about Plath, I embarked on a portrait to encapsulate the 900 page book, and her two published poetry books, "Ariel", and "Colossus". The painting shows Sylvia in her Jaeger camel suit a huge purchase she made after selling "Colossus". Her head is split open allowing words and poems to communicate the traumatic events of her, commitment to a hospital and the horrifying electric shock therapy she received. This painting speaks to the power of those affected and the beauty they create. Wanting to create a feel for the time period I choose sea-foam green that covers the entire canvas. Reds and blues speak to her connection to England, as well as her feelings of longing for her American home.
