I Shall Not Go to Heaven
30 x 22 inches
oil pastel, collage, and found objects on paper
I still have finishing touches to put on this (the bones and collage need to be attached–I’m leaning toward copper wire, but we’ll see). This is one panel of a two-panel diptych. The other panel has the same basic subject matter and layout, but the slip is orangey and the collage/assemblage bits are different. I’m still working on the background for that one, so I haven’t photographed it yet. That’s a whole lot of acreage to cover with umpty layers of oil pastel and my fingers are hamburger.
I’ve been having a gawd-awful time working on this project, mostly, I think, because it’s been difficult for me to change gears. Web design and research/writing–which I’ve been doing a lot of lately–is very different from arting. It’s nearly done, though.
