| "Cinderella Complex" 40"x20" |
The image is made from combining charcoal drawing, acrylic paint, and paper collage, including painted tracing paper to depict the diaphanous skirt of her dress. Through the filmy material, you can see the outline of her legs and one shoe. Heavy charcoal drawing is used in the lower part of the painting to not only depict the mice, but to represent the charcoal cinders that are the source of her name.
A statement will be displayed along side during the show:
"Cinderella is about to take control of her destiny by transforming herself into a Princess worthy of a better life. But although the transformation may appear complete (by the looks of her clean, glamorous appearance) underneath that veneer she is still rooted in her harder, grittier past (ashes in on her dirty, bare foot, surrounded by nocturnal mice). Though her difficult past may be seen as an inescapable wound, it also bears the foundation of her strength and determination"
Opening reception, April 7th, 5-8pm. Exhibit dates, April 7th through May 31st.
The second big happening in my world is a show at Lane Gallery, along with June Underwood and Gila Lane. Here I will be showing a sizable group of new work, a few of which I have written about on this blog. I will post more complete information about this closer to the event.
Opening reception, May 14th, 6-8pm. Exhibition dates, May 14th through July 2nd.
