| Bleeding Heart for Boy Acrylic Paint, Oil Paint, and Fabric Paint 2010 |
I used a small 3.5x4 canvas, acrylic paint for the heart, oil paint for the cracks in the heart and the background, and fabric paint for the blood and background. I chose to do a mixed media piece because it seemed to go hand in hand with the concept of this work. The pieces represent something said or done while that love was in effect and the different paints also represent, in an odd way, the mixed feelings I have towards "Boy".
Concept
The idea here was to show the effect of the love shared with "Boy". Basically, girl meets boy, girl falls for boy, boy tells girl he loves her, boy lies and breaks girl heart over and over again, girl is left with a bleeding, broken heart that somehow still belongs to "Boy".
Composition
I wanted to draw attention towards the dark hole in the heart showing where the origin of the cracks began. I want people to interpret that hole in several ways. One being a bullet to the heart.
