Description
Lost in Time was completed 01-10-2012, on Rag paper with Prismacolor Color pencils 8.5"x 11". It was inspired by a fascination of clocks and time. The original concept from the patron was to take her fascination of clocks and time referring to life, and create a piece depicting a woman’s journey through the stages of; birth, life and death. As I worked on the piece I chose to use glimpses of astronomical features in the dialogue of the message in the piece. I was given a fairly large license over the outcome of the piece. I placed Venus above the figure to symbolize the common metaphor for the female. I felt the need to have fun with other symbols and floral patterns through the piece. I finished the piece with a suggestion made by the patron to place the moon in the piece. I thought it made a nice way of referring to the theme of death without playing with the figure of a dead or dying woman. Moon is typically known as a dead and cold planet, this is what locked in my decision.

Wow this piece is really striking. I like that the main elements i.e the woman, the stork, and the baby are all joined by a umbilical cord composed of roses and birds wings.
I like the detail in the roses, and the use of colours, especially the blue, light blue, and then cream gradient which highlights the rose at the very top above the stork's head.
Maybe the piece could have been enhanced, by adding another detailed intricate clock in the blue space below the woman, however it is a wonderful piece none the less.
