Description
This piece is inspired by climate change, the sun, colors, flowers, nature, dragons, medieval illuminated manuscripts, flamingos, the earth, the unpredictable weather and photography. There is a story behind this artwork. The art is a Pandoras Box of chaos and beauty. The sun is abstract, using sculpting medium I created the face, part of it is shaped like a house and a windmill or air turbine. It has spikes. I am trying to describe and illustrate the scary weather that has been happening in recent years. The damage we are creating with our pollution, irresponsibility, greed and disrespect towards Mother Earth. The lashing out of the pop up storms and angry weather patterns. It is a constant battle. I collaged some prints of a photoshoot I took of Grand Basin at The St. Louis Art Museum, decoupaged and painted raindrops and tears on and for the the wind turbine. The house shape metamorphing into the sun is trying to describe overdevelopment and deforestation. The wind turbine is spiraling off of the sun creating turbulence and blowing the plants and scripted writing in a clockwise position. The illuminated lettering to the right says effeminate and is referring to the Earth Goddess. The flamingo has taken cover in the flower bush, and the dragon is waiting for all Hell to break loose. It is a surreal scene, made to make the viewer think and wonder. A little disturbing, yet not too disconcerting. The colorful paint reflects subsurface shallow obstruction, not acknowledging the obvious. This multimedia artwork was originally titled "Illuminated Sunface Floral", but after looking at it I saw other things happening that I did not know when creating it subconsciously. It is related to my Earths Tears painting.
