Artwork Description

Acrylic on stretched canvas, ready to hang.

Signed on the back.

“My Life had stood—a Loaded Gun—,” named after and inspired by Emily Dickinson’s poem of the same name. The surface meaning is about a personified gun, but delve a little deeper into the text and Dickinson’s views on women and poetry are, perhaps, revealed: a woman and her words are not only powerful, but in a man’s world will stand the test of time. Here Kerry’s model holds outstretched arms - usually understood as being an expression of the power of God. The bold red and contrasting acqua and teal gives a fresh vibrancy against the dark background. A "popped" and bright interpretation of a still of a You Tube video.
Kerry has used a contemporary approach using techniques such as expressionism and pop art to capture her model in contrasting colours to give a sense of passion and energy.

Named after a line in Henry Vaughan's romantic poem "The Water-Fall".

Taken during an underwater photo shoot at Bitter Springs, Mataranka, Northern Territory.
