Falling into the Abyss

Falling into the Abyss by Julie Marks

Falling into the Abyss

This abstract looks like shards of glass. It actually is a multi-colored tile that I manipulated to look like a dangerous region populated by malicious creatures that threaten the sanity of those who dare enter this dark realm. The master of the abyss is the large figure on the left wall with a large horn and what appears to be a missing ear. Figures are clinging to the walls to avoid falling into the shards of glass that are occupied by demonic figures. On the far upper right, can you see the tortured face of a woman in black and white screaming in terror? Can she be saved from a horrible fate? There are many other images to be discovered in this abstract photograph? I am always interested in what you perceive and the stories that accompany your projections.

    the two pale figures, sit on either side – they belong to no race or creed, but happily play chess here without a care for their differences. In fact it is their differences that make them so interesting to each other, and it all adds to their “game”....

    Wendy. Your amazing imagination never ceases to amaze me. I look forward to your
    unique interpretations of my work. It is an intriguing “game” they play!

    I’d almost want to call this work “conversation piece” or even “rivals”. I can see a third figure behind the right hand one. It’s a red-faced man with a large silvery nose. The scene is a bit treacherous. They are playing Russian Roulette with coins or dice. And now I see a fourth character, a left hand profile in the centre in dark blue. This scene is overpopulated. Better stop looking ….........

    I see a head of a horse on the right side of the scene. Fun!

    I see it too Mary. On top is where I saw the woman screaming in black and white. Thanks for having fun with my images.

    Julie…I’m so sorry but I see something completely different. I see a mother’s gentle hand being outstretched to a disfigured child. Wiping her face from the tears that roll down! This is absolutely beautiful! Excellent painting! Well done!Sx
