Words

hurrah its finished! taken me ages so please be nice although if anyone has any ideas on how it could be improved thats fine

this is a slightly different style from the work i usually do and not quite as pretty lol but i think its come out really well, and i feel i need a medal for being so patient with it.

i was trying to show how words can effect us, im sure everybodys had something said to them that they found upsetting. and also to show how powerful they can be, the guys body is quite ridgid and hes not being physically violent but his words are attaching her so much she ends up broken on the ground. of course words can make us feel good as well but i was just focusing on the negative effect for this piece. its alot more symbolic than other things ive done as well. i've distorted their faces particularly the girls to make her look quite vulnerable, and ive made the guys mouth bigger. also although she looks quite childlike and hes alot taller than her i havent decided who they are in relation to each other, i mean he could be her brother, dad, boyfriend, someone from school, next door neighbor etc etc.

i really wasnt sure whether i should have actual words coming out of the guys mouth and i ermmm and arrrrrred for a bit and decided it looked better with them all spilling out of his mouth and also then he could be saying anything to her so i thought more people might be able to relate to it more.

also just to make things perfectly clear im really against bullying and abuse, just that i know there can be some confusion if you make a piece of art work about something like this people might think you support it. also im not saying that the stock artists ive used are bullys or victims or anything like that.


thanks alot to all the great stock ive used
