Landslide

Acrylic and found paper on matte board, 28" X 22" Framed. Click on photo for close-up. NOT FOR SALE

This particular piece was inspired by the remake of the Stevie Nicks song, "Landslide" by the Smashing Pumpkins. Each piece of found paper represents every hope, dream, love, loss we've aquired in a lifetime and how at times, it can feel like a landslide brings it all down. I was an emotional wreck when I created it. I put “Landslide” on repeat for hours on end and was frantic, almost manic cutting out all the little bits of paper, and feeling I wasn’t able to work fast enough. Not able to get what I was feeling, out, fast enough. If you did a DNA sampling of this piece, you’d find me all over it as my tears were overflowing. But the whole process was a very, in retrospect, pleasant experience as rather then hiding under the covers and wishing the world away I was able to express how I felt at that very moment. In a sense I was able to extricate my pain, and place it in a different space.
