Featured Work - Reaching Out

Reaching Out. Acrylic, safety glass, peacock feather, collage. 39.5" x 60"
>
While two can be physically naked together, it is rare that they can be emotionally naked together as well. This idea is symbolized, in this case, by a peacock feather representing the male bravado, the semi-nude femal form, complex and made up of many parts, holding itself against the possibility of real intimacy. A male hand reaches out to offer itself in faith and trust. Paint spatters complete the feel of the piece, bringing a sense of chaos to the work.
