Scale II - The Finals

 The piece above was inspired by the Black Death, I have used a map typical of the 1300's for the basic shape, and rimmed it with gold/yellow embroidery thread. Using acrylic to create the textured surface resembling the bulbous symptoms of the plague, then adding knotted red thread for scabs and salt for a festering appearance.

Titled 'Black Wave', this piece is acrylic on linen - hand painted. A resonating image for me was the black wave of water that followed the tsunami in Japan, I thought of the loss of life that was caused by this singular event and developed this design.
