Day 6 The Stories Behind the Pictures – Now it's Always 6 O'clock

AuthorPosted byShana on 14 June 2016

Now its Always 6 O'Clock - Shana James Drypoint 55 x 76 cm $720 unframed
Now its Always 6 O’Clock – Shana James Drypoint 55 x 76 cm $720 unframed

This is the image you see being printed on the video (below). I have taken the mad hatters tea party and put it into a boat. What I like about this part  of Alice in Wonderland is  that at the tea party it is always 6 o’clock and never changes. I liked the idea of going on a journey and taking time out of the equation. See how things flow for Alice when time is taken away. I had a similar experience when I was making the artwork for this exhibition, when I let go of time the artwork flowed and when I was aware of time, the creativity stopped. I really enjoy the magical feeling of this piece. As the viewer we are on solid land looking through the trees at them in the crazy boat, it has a sense of possibility – anything could happen.
This drypoint print 55 x 76cm is $720 unframed,  is currently exhibited  at Heathcote Gallery Applecross (Perth WA) as part of the Seven Printmakers Respond to Place exhibition until the 3rd July 2016.
