7 deadly sins - sloth
mixed media (metallic acrylic paint, acrylic printing ink, inks) on wash&draw paper A3
.. inspired by conversation with DAMcD and some Roy Skogvold’s works
.. visual contemplation on the nature of ‘sin’ as being an integral part of our human make up … symbolism of gold colour to accentuate the preciousness ( preciousness of the perceived value we often attach to our sinful preoccupations as well as preciousness intended for our bodies) ... bright colors for a loving design … blots and drips to symbolize the tainting of the otherwise perfect relationship between the Creator and the Creature …...
... there is a traditional categorization of sins … these days perhaps rather outdated by realization that sin as such does not really hold some exact categories …. nevertheless I am upholding – very loosely – these categories for the sake of series of images on this theme …. armed with my sons ‘atlas of human anatomy’ .... looking more closely and lovingly onto “the clay” we are all made up of …..

Hello Anna, Lovely, simply stunning, I always anticipate when the next sin is to come out, and you always find to get the colors just right, and the symbolysim is always perfect. Can’t wait for the next one. HUGS!!! ;D

Well think this might be my favourite so far…but the standard is so very high anna.I see the pelvic bone girdle in this image and the face inside it, a torchered body, a tourchered soul. Great work ~ Anni :)
annamora replied
oh Anni …I did wonder if someone would actually recognize some of those bones …lol … and the unintended face – yes – it just happened by itself somehow ….. thank you so much Anni
