Description
After watching Guillermo Del Toro's movie Crimson Peak, I was enthralled by the dark beauty of this Gothic Romance … I fell in love with the dilapidated old house, its beautiful ornate elements and its devastating degeneration. I wanted to capture the essence of its once opulent beginnings and romance, and then its slow demise into sadness, ruin and darkness.On the cover of this mixed media journal, the once rich gold and copper molding is now covered in a dark shade of burnt umber. Even then, the paint is sadly peeling off, giving us a peek into the more vibrant colors which once exist beneath these dark walls. The use of the map of America symbolizes the New World as oppose to Old World Europe. Not only does it represent a voyage into the New World, it also implies a sense of freedom and the courage to seek new and exciting adventures. The choice now lies 'Between Two Worlds'.
