the black dahlia in progress
view the original here
1st painting in the bloodworks series dealing with the darker side of obsession. Aerosol, copper & blood on canvas. ( alternate title for this was "raping the ghost of gustav klimt" which requires some explanation: whilst I am a great admirer of Klimts process I baulk at his appalling sexism & the negatve apogee of this must be lust murder as exemplified by the horrific injuries acted upon the black dahlia. Her gaze is accusatory toward not only toward her murderer but also those who would facilitate the low level objectification of women that results in violence. I in no way condone violence & this painting is the inability to be violent whilst possessing anger against those who could perpetrate this kind of damage. Do not expect it to be here for long )
