Rebirth

rachel orman — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:28:19 GMT

This piece is painted on found wood with collage, a process that has evolved out of my inability to throw out scraps in history. My daughter meadow wrote a letter to the higher powers to please send her dad back, He died several years ago. She hadn't talked a lot about it and i just found the note discarded on the floor of her room. It was and is precious and it started a painting with which i added a hanged man symbolizing hopelessness at the end of his life. I received some jesus literature in the mail and placed him and his mudra being blown by the winds of change. I found a new york times article on the remains of a family buried in a shared grave, and the carcasses of bunnies stripped of their ears and fur at a fur factory, hung by their feet. A picture of a monkey being used for animal experimentation behind bars, and of course kid pictures of my late husband and his sister who were at very opposite ends of understanding one another. And the chicken who lays an egg and the rat that sees it all - birth, death, and survival. And finally, the big people are he and i living and dying in this lifetime, me with outlook, he in expiration, blue, w/o oxygen, and oddly reminiscent of shiva.

Girl with Cloven Feet is one in a new body of work painted on found wood. Someone commented she looks like she is from the old russian orthodox style, I used the grain and the line of the wood as much as the paint to find her.

Black Swan - Night Swan

Black Swan - Night Swan My wife got this glow-in-the-dark swan recently and wanted to see if it really worked. Capturing the day's sunlight and helping to illuminate the night. (The raccoons seem to like it!)
