Oothonby *D-pi

Traditional Art / Printing / Silk Screen

– This is a jpeg of one of two silk screen print designs I made for the "red light district" show last fall.
– "22x30"
– silscreen (two colors)
– not sure what the paper is but it's high quality, handmade, acid free, archival quality... I got it at NYA... I think it's german
– I only made 8, they're both (supposed to be) for sale over at the SOA online store: [link]

Oothon is the focus of the William Blake's poem, "The Daughters of Albion". I don't believe in explainig my pieces, but I'll say this, "Oothon is my updated representation of Blake's character from "Visions of the Daughters of Albion" The poem has inspired many interpretations, from a criticism of the American slave trade to a feminist allegory... and Oothon has been said to represent anything from the earth to the american revolutionary spirit (circa 18th century). I won't say if any of that applies to the piece, but I'd be interested in what others think... I suggest that people read the poem and look at my piece in the context of the time... any conclusion you come to after that is great. Talk to me about it.

Creative would be an understatement, which leads me to be speechless.

Okay so now I'm not mobile and I can say more about this piece. So if this is Oothoon I like the power behind how you rep'd her. Although your combo with money kindof' gives the impression of paid "relations". But I suppose after virgin from Bromion some women loose feeling as well.

Just my interp.

Ha... interesting. I always like to hear an educated interpretation of my pieces. this is the first I've heard for this one. I won't divulge my intent... but I will say it's definitely political, and every detail is deliberate.

Well whatever your intent your gallery is dope! And I appreciate art pieces that make you use your brain. Although many just add fav's based on site and not the ful depth of the piece.
