"There’s always a way forward, sibling, if you only know where to look.
Come on.
You could lose your life in dreaming. I’m going to show you something real."
Artwork submission for this year's @zineoftideandflesh! The irony of this quote is perfect for the piece it turned out to be. Thoughts and close-ups beneath the cut.
So, something I've really wrestled with during this piece is horror vacui, and how it resonated with my view of Mercer. Even though the Beast has crowded Mercer across more than half the canvas, I could not stop seeing spaces and gaps in the Beast that took me a conscious effort to resist filling in.
This anxiety to fill the space through and within the overt presence of the Beast struck me as a parallel of Mercer's aggressive revision of any hint of uncertainty in the Beast, exerting on Gage a directorial control of "where to look" as she presses on. What is "real" to Mercer, however, illustrates in this work as a violent unreality that forces upon our eyes, a dreaming that obscures the landscape, concealing the path behind her. Is the Beast then a creature pursuing its prey, a trail growing behind her steps, or a weight dragged forward by her momentum?
