Ooo. I really like this! A bit haunting and unnerving. So good. I really like the way you achieved the loose thread look. What is the woven material in the background?

the one on the background was being sold in a sewing supplies shop, no idea of its use, but its very sturdy. under the doll parts i used gauze.

If you mean the collage itself: it is done on a cardboard, i glued that stiff material on top with gesso. Then i used gauze in between the background and doll parts.

If you mean the meaning behind it is just how i feel. i am unraveling in all spots and still seen intact from outside at least.

Her face has that blob of metallic paint because i didnt want her face to be the focal point.

Thank you for sharing a little more about this piece. I was curious about the materials and about the meaning, in particular how you covered the face. SO GOOD!

that is a strong message. I believe we all sometimes feel like we’re falling apart, and sometimes don’t even know why. So this “simple” what’s wrong question is so hard to answer.

I’m listening to the “Unraveled” podcast right now, and it fits perfectly with that, too. Awesome design!

This is something that reminds me of when my sister and her friends had art shows for the pieces they did in university. I like it.
