Description
Graphite37x28cm
This piece was inspired by a piece by ~genni entitiled Hold Yourself Together
Thank you to *lured2stock for the Polaroid Photos
This is a piece for my sister, for her 21st Brithday.
All the objects in the piece reflect her and her life; The ballet slippers show her love of dancing; the paper has biological language on it (chemical symbol for glucose) as she also loves biology, and is currently studying it at uni; the necklace and earrings show her love of jewelery; the filled glass is meant to be Southern Comfort and coke, her favourite drink, although its hard to tell cux its in black and white... this also represents her love of partying/going out; the drawing hand represents her love of drawing and art; the tulip respresents the 4 years she lived in Holland before moving back to Australia to go to uni (Tulips are the Dutch national flower).
I'm fairly happy with the outcome of this piece. I like the concept- basically her whole life put onto paper.
Hope you all like!

Thanks! I recently took all my deviations down for personal reasons. Some one was fucking with me and I thought it best not to leave anything personal online. Surely I will let you see some of my things.

But when you put it all back up again i'd love to see it!

Thanks! i started off with all classical antique looking things, but couldnt figure out how to include the music in it using antique objects, so i just included the headphones!
