Arise, Shine!

Description

mixed-media on canvas; 24x19"

An old painting recently photographed. This painting has a history: it started out as a classroom painting of another completely bored model, and for decades, that's all it was. But a few years ago I thought I would try to clean the dirt off it's surface and discovered that most the paint was coming off as well! Since I had effectively ruined it anyway, why not try to salvage it as something different? So I decided to shroud her in cheesecloth and surrond her with collage. It meant coating the entire painting with glue first! Might as well go for broke, right?

I don't know quite how it happened, but putting her in a wrapping somehow changed her expression to one of boredom to solemnity! She looked like a saint or something :D That's why it's called "Arise, Shine", it reminded me of a song taken from Scripture, the words of which are written into the background.
