Artist's Comments

The first (and so far, only) physical, real media gearworld piece ever. And I don't know if it's really the gearworld. The personal symbolism drips--wombat, goldfish in bag (what, you thought my personal symbolism would be serious? Tchah! Dunno what you're thinking...)--and the gears might just be a reference to the gearworld, rather than being actually set IN the gearworld.

If that makes any sense.

What does it all mean? Is it "Potrait of the Artist Portrayed as a Wombat"? Is she reaching after inspiration, in the form of a small white moth? Dunno, seems too Deeply Meaningful, and I am automatically suspicious of things that wave their symbolism around and do little dances and bludgeon you over the head so that you Damn Well Know There's A Symbol Here. (This is why I hate Rush songs.)

All I know is that we should not ask about the goldfish. The goldfish is everywhere. Fear the goldfish! (Well, not really. It's a nice fish. I think.)

Acrylic, 12 x 12. Original is for sale! Prints are available! Drop a line...

You should definitely do more things that have to do with Gearworld. Because gears rock!
