Lost in Time was completed 01-10-2012, on Rag paper with Prismacolor Color pencils 8.5"x 11". It was inspired by a fascination of clocks and time. The original concept from the patron was to take her fascination of clocks and time referring to life, and create a piece depicting a woman’s journey through the stages of; birth, life and death. As I worked on the piece I chose to use glimpses of astronomical features in the dialogue of the message in the piece. I was given a fairly large license over the outcome of the piece. I placed Venus above the figure to symbolize the common metaphor for the female. I felt the need to have fun with other symbols and floral patterns through the piece. I finished the piece with a suggestion made by the patron to place the moon in the piece. I thought it made a nice way of referring to the theme of death without playing with the figure of a dead or dying woman. Moon is typically known as a dead and cold planet, this is what locked in my decision.
