“The Fate of Ophelia”
Inspiration derived from Shakespeare’s play, “Hamlet”. Ophelia drowned in the play and I’m interested now in combining my sculptural pieces with paintings. I wanted to portray a woman getting ready to drown …. metaphoric for many different stages in our lives…
I first sculpted the face out of clay. Then I drew out the body on a decorative wood board. I painted her as if she was naked and underwater. Her hair drifting….I then attached my sculpture and added gel medium. then I painted again on top of it…
