Goddess of Blessings

This one started out as an agonizingly overworked abstract experiment. Eventually, it mutated into two figures. The women's silhouette on the right is pouring water into the man's mouth to the left. This activity was inspired from watching a Turkish folk dance in which the women dancers simulate pouring water on the men working in the fields. it was nice to take a break from what is sometimes "blood and guts"imagery and depict something pleasant. This work was inspired by folk and outsider art and most definitely by the stick figure art of German artist A.R. Penck.
