The Crawling
I put my heart and soul into this. It was more or less simbolic of what was me as a child emerging from pain. From an abusive childhood that i can’t bring myself to describe without feeling numb and bewildered to this day.
i made this…. doll thing, it’s parts glewed together with barbed wire i made, on a painted canvas.
Original artwork still in my possession.
The dark style and structure of this piece encourage the feel of being trapped in a nightmare for its audience. If you find this piece appealing you might enjoy artists such as-

brilliant and spooky. i love how the faces seem to emerge like ghosts from the shadows. how was the background made? paint? scratchings? pastels?
Brinaka N. replied
i painted the background black then grabbed random metal things like forks and a dog grooming brush and just tore into it. lots of fun =)
i panted the 3 dollfaces in the background and dripped clear glue (real thick) over the faces to add some dimention.
the slugde dripping form the doll was a a mix of 2 different glues and paint.
