My piece is entitled "Oppression Rocks!", it's about the oppression women in the financial sector and how this is not only accepted but embraced by both men and women. My original thought was to print the image on a Tshirt and have a seemingly nice guy wear it (yeah, I was going to use my husband) to show that all people not just the obvious accept this trend. But, I'm too poor and couldn't afford to buy a new Tshirt. Boo! Anyway, next time.
I also tried to make it look something like the inside cover of an album... a little play on the whole "rocks" thing... ya know?

Okay, this is late because my computer had a bit of a mental breakdown, mixed with a physical breakdown.
So what the eff is this about and why did I do it?
It's about childhood cruelties and growing up and killing off your old dreams. As kids we are encouraged to be imaginative, and believe and things... and one by one we are asked to not only turn our backs on these ideas but really destroy them. And children can be cruel.

ReplyDeletemy Bethy, I absolutely loved your Shock Art piece. It was incredible, astonishing and darkly hilarious. To add to your numerous talents and interests, definitely explore more with graphic design and marketing, you are phenomenal:)
And Katie's piece was wonderful too. The languishing, put upon mermaid. Unreal. I loved it too.
Eddie was blown away, considering your work and Katie's work to be so much better than the WOA cast. He was sad that he has been busy creating storefront signs and menu boards and doesn't have spare artistic energy to join in the WOA blog but loves the contributions.
