100 Pieces Project #39
The words carry the politics. Phrases like "when will it stop," "we have sold our souls," and "money is more important than our children" are written as accusations and as questions at once. Another line says women must come together, offering a possible answer, while "we kill little girls" lands as a stark indictment on the edge of the piece. The repeated "when will it stop" circles the composition without ever getting an answer, which is where the questioning mood lives. The faces of women and girls from another era suggest that this is not a new question, and that each generation has asked it again.
Black-and-white portraits of women and girls, cut and layered into a storm of red paper, acrylic, and oil pastel, with scrawled words that accuse and ask. A gestural collage about children, money, and the unanswered question: when will it stop?
Method: Collage
Quality: Gestural
Mood: Questioning
