| Paper Dolls III 2011 mixed media 6x8" |
As the 'paper dolls' series continues, I am enjoying this new source of collage material. There is a different feeling when working with these lovely fashionistas rather than the Renaissance beauties that I have used in the past, but at the same time, something also the same. Having just had a tour of a lovely church from the early 1800's, I also find myself inspired more and more by the stained glass images of angles and saints, hand-painted and glowing with light. Eventually I see a more lengthy series featuring the ladies of fashion, but inspired by the icons of mythology and religion - women who are saved or damned by fate, and all the stories they inspired along the way. "Heroines and Harlots" perhaps? But who is to say which is which... I'll keep sharing as they progress.
