Original artwork description:

Full title: Go Figure; Birds + Words; Bells Ringing Out
Juxtaposition between the animal and human as well the presence of language and its relationship to apprehending meaning from it. The vibrancy of the bird, rich in color and life, contrasts with the less saturated ethereal nude. A complex interplay of male and female gaze contrasted by the detached gaze of the bird. The combination of these elements suspends an open ended scenario of suggestions and sensations rather than landing on a concrete conclusion or meaning. "Bells ringing out" intimates sound in an otherwise silent visual experience.

Materials used:

Oil paint on canvas
