disIllusionedby ~kellymckernan

Traditional Art / Mixed Media / Conceptual

The title is really (dis)Illusioned...

For this one, I have to admit my inspiration and my idea behind it (only to a degree)...

Earlier this week I saw a film called "Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus" and was very inspired by some of the imagery in the film and the life and transformation of the photographer Diane Arbus. Two things in that movie really stood out to me: when her mother covers her eyes during her "fantasy" moment and the white rabbit in Lionel's apartment, and how the two come together, so to speak, in concept, to direct Diane's transformation from a locked up and bound housewife to an explorative woman.

Anyhow, you don't need to have seen the film to pick up on the meaning behind this piece. It's a little autobiographical in nature for me as well.

This is gouache, tea, and bleach on 12.5"x20" tea stained paper.
