Miranda McGuffie-Harris“Untitled”Lightbox in a wooden painted frame, drawing printed on acetate.“A Fun Guitar”Paint, sharpie and texta on guitar sealed with a topcoat.This artwork (the light-box) is about depression and the passing of time. I’ve drawn in the muck that can build up, that becomes what you live in with depression. The figure in the middle is a self-portrait, with busy lines and spiders climbing out of the body. The figure has no arms, symbolising the feeling of being stuck, also the lines are almost melting. Depression can feel like you're melting into a sticky pile of tar, which is what I tried to depict. I’ve also included a train through the window, a bar and moving cars. They symbolize movement and normal life. I drew the window almost like bars to prison to show that in this state of depression these things are unattainable.The guitar has bright pink monsters on it because I thought it looked cool. I hate negative space so I filled all of it in with lines. To make this guitar I first sanded off the varnish of the guitar and took off all the strings. Then I did two layers of white paint and drew the artwork on with sharpie and coloured textas. After I restrung the guitar and put a top coat on it. |
