Story / Additional InfoA painted collage created in 2020, during the covid lockdown. The artist expressed her feelings of being shut down and frustration at a situation out of her control. Art was a good medium to release those feelings. The figure in the painting is crawling up the wall and has become a part of the interior wallpaper. She is expressing feelings of alienation and a sense of being trapped. It was cathartic being able to express those feelings in the artwork. In a painted collage, the artist glues down the collage elements on a stretched canvas and then uses oil paints to finalize and coalesce the work. Background reminiscent of Gerhardt Richter.
