Cacophony

Cacophony

pencil on paper (unknown kind) drawing – 20” wide x 30” high – ORIGINAL SOLD

This piece has seen the world. It spent a number of years touring Australia in Damian Michael’s Visionary Art Exhibition – hanging next to H.R. Giger, Laurie Lipton, Alex Grey and many other “fantastic”/visionary artists. This was drawn during a difficult phase of my life – but one of ultimate growth.

It’s been very interesting to hear the many interpretations this drawing has provoked in viewers. I had someone ask me once if this was a female crucifixion scene. (No.)

I was trying to say A LOT at that time in my life but felt I was mute in the world. So I decided to draw it instead.

There are a number of variations of this drawing available as T-shirts in my Clothing section:

    I ask so many questions of this haunting image. Have they been silenced? What is each one’s story? Are they sisters? Are they trapped? It evokes so much mystery and those eyes just hold you.
    Happy your hard times provided growth…many miss the lessons of difficult times…bravo to you!

  • Cynthia Lund T... replied

    Thank you for your very thought-provoking comment. It’s been interesting – all the various reactions to this piece. I remember once a friend strolled in and said, “I’ve got it! It’s a female crucifixion! You inverted the scene!”...
    (nope)...

    They have definitely been silenced. They are all the same being – just caught her at various stages. The tears came during the last fifteen minutes of drawing.

    They question me the same way.

    I like that about it.

    THANK YOU Natsky…

    I send you my best,

    This is fantastic! Such a fine work, so many details – I wish I could see it close-up, so that I can savour every pencil mark… I can imagine every stroke of a pencil bringing you relief. I know what you mean, I sometime only can think and communicate in pictures, there are no words (or no correct words) for certain feelings. Unfortunately I’m not skilful of fast enough to capture them! I wish there was a software that records our visual thoughts, – like Polaroid snaps…

  • Cynthia Lund T... replied

    Hello VK…
    THANK YOU so very much for your wonderful note. You’ve made me smile.Yes, art is indeed a life line at times.

    And I’ve often wished for something very similar to what you speak of – to wake up in the morning and plug the chip in to “see” what I’ve dreamt.

    Thank you again for your kindness.
    My best to you…
