Artwork Description

drawing and gold foil on archers paper, framed, 52 x 58cm, 2016 Framed

In this drawing my subject reflects on the weight of her crown and horns rather than their glimmering golden beauty. The symbolism serves as a metaphor for how we perceive our circumstance in life.

A graphite portrait drawing of a woman sitting with her back to the viewer while she looks over her shoulder directing her gaze to them. The woman has one hand raise across her body up to her head holding her long hair up while the other arm is out of sight, it is assumed that it is holding up the sheet which drapes across her lower half. Across her back is a bouquet of flowers ranging in type and size, covering her lower back right up to the bottom of her face.A graphite portrait of a woman from the neck up, looking directly forward at the viewer. The drawing is composed of an overlay of the same drawing 3 times misaligned to create an out of focus experience for the viewer. The drawing has been completed on a more textured paper to enhance the sense of disorientation in the details.A portrait of a young woman standing at a 3/4 angle tilting her right side away from the viewer. The drawing is in graphite pencil, with a technique of realism, although there are elements of surrealism in the portrait. The woman is holding a rabbit as though nursed in her arms, while her long flowing hair comes down over her shoulder and morphs into a fox which has bitten down into the rabbit. Apart from this act of violence from the fox, the portrait conveys a sense of happiness and calm with the woman smiling and standing in a relaxed pose, holding the rabbit in a nurturing way.A graphite portrait shows a woman from the neck up, looking directly at the viewer. The drawing has been completed with a realistic style, though it includes surreal / fantasy elements such as horns growing out from the woman's temples, and a third eye opened on the centre of forehead. The horns curl back from her temples, around her ears with the sharp points following her cheek bones forward pointing towards her lips. The third eye is positioned vertically on her forehead and also looks towards the viewer. The woman has long dark hair that is pulled back tightly with some loose strands visible.
