Shattered

by Carla on January 14, 2012

Probably my best piece of art.


I had this canvas for 3 years, under this painting there are 3 other seriously paintings. The technique I used here was ‘pouring’. Yes, I am an artist therefore I can invent terms!
I diluted my paint into small bottles and poured paint over the canvas. Waiting for each colour to dry before doing the next layer. I have no idea how blue ended up on the canvas, it was not planned. The grey is left over wall paint.
The mirror ended up on the canvas to cover up a huge blotch of paint. I broke 3 mirrors to do this so 7 x 3 years of bad luck right? I believe the mirror makes this painting, the idea behind it the feeling of being shattered and a broken self. Sometimes I wake up and look at this painting and think, yes that is just about how I feel today.
