This piece was initially the result of a dream. I went through many versions in my head before I settled on something I could actually execute on canvas.  The overall tone comes from my subconscious, of course – that sense of helplessness in a world bigger than you.  The subject is a girl trapped in a well, the moonlight streaming down to comfort her in her prison.  She’s not seen another soul for decades, yet still wonders if someone will come to her rescue.  Humanity, it seems, has passed the girl by, yet Nature, in a moment of tenderness has forged a place for her in the natural order.

20 x 24, abstract mixed media (spray paint and acrylics) on canvas, February 2017.
