Distractions

Something that at the beginning was supposed to be just a practice of portraits transformed into a bigger composition and idea. I often work in this way – starting from one element that catches my attention (in this case the girl’s staring eyes and expression) and later letting my imagination free, expanding, and adding elements. I invite you to find your own interpretation of this piece:)

Graphite on Bristol paper. 21×29.7cm (A4).

*Based on a photograph of wonderful Gemmy Woud – Binnendijk with her kind permission

 

This is a story that trees only know
A secret kept beneath the ground
Nature’s daughter who couldn’t say “no”
And followed a tempting sound

 

The call of power stronger than will
Promises she could not resist
Standing by you always we will
Just one more step voices insist

 

Go and seek for forbidden tree
To the worlds you crave gate
A little further and you’ll be free
Thus there awaits your fate

 

She turned away from Mother’s lands
Escaped from vows once made
Now between two worlds she stands
The debt she took must be paid

 

A little voice like bird’s song
An echo from the past
Dear, you know where you belong
This illusive dream won’t last

 

You can’t fly on paper wings
Empty promises won’t take you far
You’ve been pulled by shiny strings
Yet nothing but void they are
