“Swing”
An acrobatic danse macabre suspended from a wooden gallows, gently swinging.
A full nude is somewhat unusual for me; but in this case I didn’t want the clothes to be a distraction, to assign a ‘role’ to the woman. She is not ‘an acrobat’ or ‘a dancer’ or any definition that is merely occupation. She is life and death, human and inhuman, beautiful and grotesque.
(This image disturbs a lot of people, and the post-its above will disturb the rest. Sorry about that. You can click-through to see the full, un-stickied image at Fine Art America, deviant Art, or Renderosity)
Please enjoy this image; and if you have nightmares… well, they were probably there already, I just nudged them on the backswing.
