PIECES OF US BY LISA PARKYN

Layers upon layers create a wonderfully rich surface in this painting and I love the hints of colour peeking through where I have sanded. A figure emerges and it seems symbolic to me about what we as women carry and hold in this lifetime, the pieces of us and the beauty in the scars of time. The roles we embody as daughters, sisters, mothers, friends, wives, grandmothers etc and the messages we’re told by others including the media on what it is to be a women and how we rework this in being our true selves.
