Sadness
I am fascinated by how seemingly mundane objects can transform into unique and unexpected images which reflect the trauma and emotions of today’s world. This image is part of a series whose starting point was a photo of a simple gas cap embedded in a sidewalk. Each time I looked at the gas cap, it metamorphosized into something new. Here, after color, line, spatial and compositional changes and the addition of new elements, the gas cap became a stone backdrop to a ghostly procession. I simplified the added figures so the viewer would focus less on anatomical detail and more on the scene’s emotion. The result was a digital collage which I transferred to arches 88 paper with transfer film.
