Prudence In A Shadow Box

I am currently working on a new piece called "Prudence in a Shadow Box". The image I am trying to create is one that grasps the contrast between innocence and rebellion, white against color, peace vs. war and also the contrast between an introvert and an extrovert. John Lennon wrote a song for Prudence (Mia Farrow’s sister) when the Beatles went to India and visited Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in India. He feared she was depressed because she spent so much of her time in her room. He wrote this song merely asking her to come out to play. This image reflects a sweet girl who has feelings of reservation and shyness. She and isn’t sure if she wants to embrace the peace within through meditation or go outside into a world full of mystery and chaos. The graffiti on the wall behind her plays tribute to John Lennon and his legendary song writing. The girl dressed in white stands with purity feeling skeptical to the outside world as she continues to soul search for her answer to inner peace. Beside this entry are some photos of my progress with this new piece of mine containing an art doll in a shadow box.

India

Meet India, she is such a treasure! I made from a tea cup I brought back from India last year. She sits 6 1/2 inches tall. The base she sits on is a beautiful square plate I found in Crate & Barrel that matched the tea cup perfectly. India has been embellished with fabrics I also brought back with me. Her hair is a combination of wool and acrylic fibers and she is jeweled with brass accents. India has henna patterns on the souls of her feet and around the tops of her arms and sits in this peaceful position as she meditates. She's waiting to sit in your home and bring you peace.

Art Doll Mable

Art Doll Mable
Meet Mable, she's trying her best to keep her skin glowing. She believes in nourishing her body from the inside out but once a week a good facial mask and cucumbers on her eyes make all the difference in the world. She stand 8 inches tall and would love to sit on the side of your tub or on your dresser. She could spend hours in the bathroom! * Mable is an original one of a kind decorative Art Doll and not meant to be played with as a toy.
