Day Eleven: "Dystopia"
The cookie cutter fits so perfectly on Lady Liberty's pedestal as if it was meant to be. Eerie.
I found this woman with empty hands and a bland expression on her face. Her posture seems stiff and unnatural, she could have been cut out with that cookie cutter. I placed her on the wall, and I don't think she's going to jump but it looks like she may fall forward like a stone sculpture.
Wow, let's get back to thinking some happy thoughts now.
"Dystopia"
Mixed media: acrylic, fly leaves and clippings from vintage storybooks, on canvas panel, 12" x 9"
The stained paper makes this piece for me. Sad, neglected, foreboding. A sense that the hero is hollow, that we need to fit that mold or else. The lone figure. And in this the birds are threatening.
