Genesis
AM003 - About a New Beginning after Fire
This is a unique mixed mediapiece. Itis one of 2 original art works created similarly. It's a layered piece with the figure being a monotype. I used propane to create the burn marks and designed hand made attachments that affix to the end of a propane torch to create branding marks. It was empowering for me to use fire. The branding marks on the figure create the pattern to represent the scars from my burn injury. Those marks are cross hatches to symbolize the passage of time. It is called Genesis - It's about a new beginning - about being fully transformed - about finding happiness. And of course there is a reference to the delightful pin-up pose of Betty Grable. This is for my rebelliousness - A claim that I have not been assigned to a certain life after being burned. I still have a place in the world of being a sexy woman.
