Artist's Comments
Final Portrait for Drawing FoundationII, focus: Self Portrait with inclusion of one animal and symbolism through choice of animal and/or color
medium: pastel, charcoal, conte, ink
This piece is generally a comment on the cycle of reincarnation, based on native American symbols. The spider is considered a representation of time and the 'weaver of fate', especially the widow spider due to the red hourglass formation. It also serves as a symbol for eternity and cycles because of the infinity shape of the body. Regarding the image, I placed myself in time's web and struggle to break free of reincarnation's cycle. The figure is situated in a fetal pose alluding to rebirth and vulnerability. The background is dotted by fleeting dragonflies. They vaguely resemble a human shape which pokes at the idea of the spirit, which they are a symbol of as well as ancient truth, which is needed to break the cycle.
size of this image does the real life version no justice... evil evil, which happens to be about 8feet by 8feet and currently taking up a whole wall in my house. haha yeah...
