I can’t draw - I don’t have artistic talent – which stinks because I have artistic vision.
At least I think I do…
I had this vision:
A woman – backed against a high fence – really high fence, like twelve feet high.
It’s a chain link fence.
She is terrified and angry and confused all at the same time – it shows on her face and the rigidness of her body. There is someone/thing that has backed her up to this fence.
It has a hand on her right breast, holding her to the fence. Its other hand is over her face - its fingers are spread so you can still see the expression on her face and that hand is also pushing the woman against the fence. The head is pushed against the fence but slightly looking up at her right arm above her head
The woman has her right arm above her head and her fingers are gripping the fence
Her left arm is down and at an angle – the fingers are not through the fence but laying on top of the chain link.
Her left leg is lifted off the ground – like she is searching for a link to get her foot into
Her right leg is still on the ground.
The someone/thing pushing the woman against the fence represents all the demands/problems that the woman is facing. The fence represents that which is preventing her from dealing with/reconciling the demands/problems. The woman is looking up and notices that her one hand is grasping the fence –she can get over the fence if she tries. But in getting over the fence is she dealing with her problems or is she avoiding them because they would still be on the other side of the fence – she is conflicted with the exact meaning of the fence. Is it the obstacle to overcome or is it a means of just getting away from her problems and not really dealing with them?
What do you think – can someone draw that or paint that? I wish I could.
The picture I have in my head is interesting – I don’t think I did it justice in words.
Oh well – that is what is on my mind today – wish I was artistic.
