im still wondering what it means. perhaps its on the underappreciated nessesity of motherhood...? i dont know! but perhaps if we break it down we'll discover more about it. the subject in the foregrownd is playing a violin while all the others seem to be working very hard. notice that no one but the other ladies seem to pay any attention to her. perhaps it's because they empathize with unappreciated nurturing (?) every person in the lines is looking down. why? are there not women of startling size right in front of them. is there not beautifull music playing? one does notice. shes the fourth in the forground line to the right. she's a little ecuadorian woman named guadalupe. perhaps shes the only one who sees past being accustomed to a commonality anyone outside of this world depicted would consider strange. why are they taking refuge? is it the vultures? anyway, i dont know all what it means but heres the subjects: motherhood (nurture), work, danger, refuge.
This one I also LOVE! The old, worn, aged look you've incorporated into the art brings an added visual interest when studying the piece and gives the overall image a long, hard life feel..which of course strengthens the image content of the artwork.

ReplyDeleteThe mothers in the field with the one playing the violin reminds me of the story ofMary and Martha with Jesus.
