Sue Smells a Journey
Today I am showing a piece of abstract art, which is taken from something I uploaded to Deviant Art, although I am unsure this is going to work. I am currently using one of the PCs at work to post this. If it doesn't work, I'll fix it when I get home tonight.
It is supposed to representing smell and journey. I put these two things together because I feel that they are interlinked. Mostly because if you smell something, it can take you on a journey. Even if it is an emotional one, where it takes you back to a period of your life.
Again this is a mixed media piece. With patterns originally painted with arcylics, and then distorted using photoshop. As I have said previously, this is the kind of art I seem most happy with. Because it has the traditional aspects, of which I love, mixed with the fact that the meaning is whatever the viewer deciphers it to be. And to me, that is the magical thing about art.

This looks really funky like. I can"t make that connection to smell. but with the journey aspect i can see that when I look at it cause I start at one point and my eyes follow the direction that it flows in. I wonder how it would look if you crop into it a little or even removing some of the white space around?
ReplyDeleteThat might be something, I could try out :S
ReplyDeleteMy sister thought it was a whirlpool of fire, so I guess it really can be anything. :)
I really like this, I'm not sure I'd do anything differently. I really like all the white space, it makes the sharp cuts into it really show up.
