I have titled this one 'Swan', in reference to the 'grace of a swan', one of several contortionist studies I have been working on as of late.
Mood and Melodrama.
They are the building blocks from which I create 'Art'.
Her hair represents the fluidness of water and wind, the intricate little flowers represent thought and emotion. Each flower represents a single thought; a single emotion, and as one thought becomes another, they bloom and multiply, together forming a garden.
The Garden Of Persephone.
A garden of Light in a dark place. A collection of emotions, like an oasis. Most of the work I do is at night, it is when my inspiration is at its strongest. It in effect yields a very dramatic undertone.
The column, old and crumbling from neglect, symbolizes the passage of time.
The overgrown moss on the base, that creeps up the column, has become a visual aesthetic I have used throughout my art to convey the feeling of nature reclaiming.
In the end nature reclaims everything.
It creates a very aesthetic, forlorn quality, inwhich I find 'beauty'.
Mood and Melodrama.
