Number Thirteen

 Number Thirteen

Digital drawing/painting, except for the floorboards & scissors, which I took from a photograph.

What a jolly unseasonal offering!

Inspired by: Growing pains, adolescence, my own past (I turned thirteen on Friday the 13th), the X-Files, invisible siblings, Aimee Bender, Angela Carter, current dream symbols.

I like the idea of a room without walls in the sky. Could also represent a sort of diving board or gangplank...into the unknown. Maturation, or the close of childhood, the violence of an unplanned departure.

Best wishes for the holidays xxx

Beautiful and just the right amount of... darkness, amidst all the light!
Also convinces me not to cut my hair yet...

red red red so much love from the heart blood so much hurt from the pain blood, the beating drum blood pulsing through our veins, we are alive but must we scream it to be heard? hesitant little girl, drummer girl, not willing to march forth, do not turn my screw. i m standing still, savoring the taste of the blood of the candy apple. snow white, where are those to mourn you, to shed their tears. to bring you back to life...

i am constantly intrigued by personal symbols perpetually recurring as though etched in our bones.
