The Annointment
Piece Five in my HSC body of work. The series in total is called “Ascendancy” which means domination or influincing figure, but also has connotations to the ascention of Mary in Christianity. Basically what i tried to do was to show how humanity’s expression of faith has changed, evolved, or even stayed the same. “The Annointment” refers to Mary Magdelane’s annointment of the body of Christ.

I love the power and energy behind your work. This one is amazing, the woman’s arm is strong and the movement in her hair adds to the energy. You do hands so beautifully.

haha, thank you! i always thought that her hands were man-hands in this piece – they’re too masculine! but it kind of centres the piece, so i was happy..

Dramatic and expressive, light and shadow, a painting worthy of Velasquez, Caravaggio, or sculpture by Rodin
