Spread 216 – “Covered Me”
18 March 2016
Vintage and personal papers, matte medium, PaperArtsy paints, Nova color paints, black and white gesso, Micron pens, pencil, matte varnish, image transfers with hand-stitched edges.
It happens over time. Little by little life covers who we are. We loose touch with who we truly are. When will I be completely covered?
In memory of Henry Darger April 12, 1892 – April 13, 1973.
I so understand this Brian. I work hard to speak in my journaling who I am and what I am feeling. Awesome spread.
Thank you Terry!!!! Love you!!!
I love seeing your work Brian, the colors re magnificent and you share your emotions! ♥
Thank you Jacki! Love you! I miss you!!!
It is like there are two sides to this spread. The public side and the private side; the light side and the dark side; the innocent side and the experienced side. It is almost like a nightmare for the little girl. Isn’t it fun to try and interpret. Very strong work, Brian. 🙂
Thank you John. That is why I don’t like to say too much about my spreads. I would rather folks interpret them for themselves. I know what they mean to me & their meaning changes over time. This spread was actually started as a demo from our class on Whidbey and I don’t like to waste spreads so this took a very looooooong time to come about, little bit at a time.
