10,000 Days (Wings Pt. 2)
Medium: Acrylic Paint on Acrylic Paper
Size: 12” x 16”
Description:
Based on the fourth song on the Tool album of the same name, 10,000 Days is the second part of the Wings For Marie set. It was completed in early 2009.
Because the song itself is surrounded in so much personal meaning to the singer, the piece was trick to approach. I wanted to try to convey something that was respectful and tasteful. The song is about the singer’s dead mother who, suffering from a long standing illness that left her wheel chair bound for 26 years (10,000 Days), was a devout Christian. The singer himself is an atheist and expresses his hope that he is wrong and that there is an after life, there is a heaven and that his mother deserved wings for what she went through.
In my piece, I depict the Christian view of Death but instead, he is a psychopomp, a run of the mill ferry man of souls. I wanted to show a visual representation of what the singer was hoping for. A being, waiting for his mother in the after life, to take her up to heaven.
