Day Thirty: "Endtable"
I've been wanting to make a trauma piece, and here it is. For some reason I associate trauma with these particular colors I've chosen. The square room is soaring, or it is in some sort of a vaccuum. It may be hard to see on the photo - the person huddling at the bottom is holding her hands over her ears. Her feet are resting on an endtable.
I used lots of elements of a vintage furniture layout kit to create the landslide in her home. To add dimension, I blackened all sides of each shape with an ink pad.
Because of the build-up of the many shapes, the person is actually sitting in a cave.
