This painting is Mixed Media on Canvas, 24″x 36″ signed and unframed.
It is the culmination of months of work and thought, and is now, finally, at a stage I can call finished. I think we have spoken to one another long enough, now I will let it speak to you. There are many ways one can interpret a work of art, and I am not going to dictate how you interpret mine. Let it speak to you in the language you understand. My work here is done.
What motivates the Artist to pour the thoughts of pain onto her canvas? Could it just be too chaotic and crowded for the random images to stay inside her head?
What triggers the Traumatic thoughts? The remembered pain, the current, unending struggle to endure the stream of memories, all the pressure building, building, building.
Yes. All the Pressure,
Yes. The Stream of Thought.
Yes. It must find a Release.
Lather, Rinse, Repeat.
Quite a Journey, this “Being Me”…These images only show a tiny portion of my different self images, and perhaps one day I will caption them. Right nowI’m just too, too tired…
waiting. longing. for relief to come.
Mixed Media on Canvas 20″x 16″ by Susan T. Martin
opening image is photographed with a light source behind the painting.
This image is under regular light, the source overhead. I enjoy adding a little hidden dialogue to the painting, that the viewer has to work for, and think about. For instance, rather than wishing on a star, our little lady on the far right edge of the painting is puking on one…Oh, and is that star on the forehead of a fallen statue that we are all so familiar with? (Let the viewer use discernment).
I wont give you anything else… Just look, and wonder…
This is a fun little painting. I am showing you a detail here of the upper left quadrant of the piece. So much to see, so little time! and now , without further adieu, I give you this :
