Artwork Description

Isolation

0.0 x 0.0

My work ‘Isolation’ is my interpretation of the meaning of the word. It is my interpretation of the ‘big picture’ of the world which became evident during the pandemic. The state of being separated from the community can cause feelings of loneliness, anxiety, disconnection and negative self-esteem . People can be isolated by race, class, being a member of a minority group, or as in recent times, a pandemic. Life can go on around us yet we are totally separated. The lack of control over being restricted created frustration and anger. Within this isolation there is hope that the situation will improve. The figures in my artwork are reaching out to each other in many different ways. It might be a hand held out , a longing look , a conversation or a positive thought across a space. This piece is multi-layered with collage, acrylic and glazes. Each layer has been scratched to reveal under details or covered up to create additional interest
