Folly
Folly
A crown on a clown. Her face is painted white, with green tears cut down from the eyes and cold blue lips set in a mouth that isn’t smiling. The crown has half dissolved into black spatter, and the baubles on top glow an acid green, more toxic than royal. Below the chin the green runs down in long, thin drips, and it is hard to tell whether that is paint or something worse. She is power and fool in one figure, absurd and in charge, and the joke has an edge. You can’t tell whether she is laughing at us or has already decided who the joke is on.
Enamels are screen printed onto a single sheet of glass, so the green glows when light passes through and the white face stands out against the clear glass. The glass is mounted on a hardwood base, ready to display on a shelf or sideboard.
Details: Enamel screenprint on a single sheet of glass, mounted on a hardwood base. Portrait format, glass size 30 x 20 cm (11.8 x 7.9 in), height by width. Handmade by the artist..
