This work reveals my self-portrait as a clown. Done using oil pastels I strove to bring out my own self-expression in red - the most passionate colour of roses. Taken from a series of studies of photographs which I took of myself, this work projects me forward to the spectator, yet still keeps me hidden beneath the tufts of material, enclosed within myself. The leader of an imaginary parade of circus performers, this clown is lost whilst her entourage of gypsies and circus entertainers follow. They walk in line carrying all their belongings, guided through a dark infinite road that leads to an unknown destination. The trailer cannot be found, the circus ring remains silent in the dark, where only the dust is left to speak. The folds of red and dark green material act as a frivolous wig of torn petals, flowers, an obsession that I have had as a child. The creases encompass me like petals in their bud, just about to blossom, yet weak as though they are bound to fall. My eyes look further beyond in dreams of an unknown circus, in hope of a performance of fantasy.
I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
