Melanie!

This is absolutely amazing!

So much texture and detail!

What medium did you use for this particular piece?

Oh thanx Dean' long story behind this one...short version-starting off it was going to be very dark i thought due to awful circumstances at the time...but as is the way with art it transformed itself and me in the process and became a beautiful angel breaking free, with written words of wisdom, (some mine and some borrowed) written all around it, in ink.
Painted with acrylic paint and a large number of shattered glass all around.
At the time i thought i was broken and would never create again, from that emotional space, this art was born...It is a large work around 2 metres by 3 metres.
