Surreal Visions
Through the Looking Glass
ARTIST NOTES:
Alice explores another dimension… a wild mix of cross-cultural frivolity and mayhem.
ICONS & SYMBOLS:
An overwhelmed Alice sits at the table with the red queen, March Hare, a harlequin, a frantic moon and a pipe-smoking jester. Look for Mexican dragons, classical gryphons and gargoyles, madonnas, piles of skulls, sacrificial animals, mystics shooting rays out of their eyes into the moon. A jungle beast eats the heart out of a hapless soul up in a green tree whose trunk has screaming faces embossed into it. Jungle animals surround a weeping woman in the blue tree.
MATERIAL NOTES:
The tall side trees are 3-dimensional with designs hammered/embossed into them.
Dimensions: 29in x 22in
Media: Acrylic on metal, embossed metal pieces affixed to frame.
