I am sharing this piece again to add to my Bescouted collection. #bescouted
I made this piece as part of a colab/contest thanks to for their great #collaberativeartjourney initiative. I love using these types of collabs as a means to build up my own portfolio of work and was quite happy with the result.
Playing off the curves and shine of the original photograph which was almost abstract in form, I instantly saw (after some flipping of the image) the perfect world in which such a sprit/angel could dwell.
The curve and shine of the glass gave me a feeling of serentity but glass, by it's nature, seems to hold potential danger, as shattered glass can easily become a sharp danger or weapon. All of this lead me to represent the figure both in a serene moment of contemplation as well as a deadly moment of being bitten Cleopatra like by the snake.
I hope to build up a good collection of my work on bescouted and am happy to be a part of that.
