Artist's Comments

**
aren't we the Time's game?
This work is very much inspirated by surreal artists and barock philosophy. the vanitas-theme is typical for the barock. Below you can read a poem by a famous german poet in the barock-time, Andreas Gryphius.
enjoy :)

Andreas Gryphius - Ebenbild unseres Lebens

Der Mensch das Spil der Zeit / spilt weil er allhie lebt.
Im Schau-Platz diser Welt; er sitzt / und doch nicht feste.
Der steigt und jener fällt / der suchte der Paläste /
Vnd der ein schlechtes Dach / der herrscht und jener webt.
Was gestern war ist hin / was itzt das Glück erhebt;
Wird morgen untergehn / die vorhin grüne Aeste
Sind numehr dürr und todt / wir Armen sind nur Gäste
Ob den ein scharffes Schwerdt an zarter Seide schwebt.
Wir sind zwar gleich am Fleisch / doch nicht von gleichem Stande
Der trägt ein Purpur-Kleid / und jener grabt im Sande /
Biß nach entraubtem Schmuck / der Tod uns gleiche macht.
Spilt denn diß ernste Spil: weil es die Zeit noch leidet /
Vnd lernt: daß wenn man von Pancket des Lebens scheidet:
Kron / Weißheit / Stärck und Gut / bleib ein geborgter Pracht

You're standing in my doorway seven cities ago, The days are racing, but you come back too slow. You're the finest thing I've ever done. The hurricane I can't outrun. I could wait around for the dust to still, But I don't believe it ever will.
:iconshevamp:
Beautifully done, I like the grey overtones to it. The poses fit pefrectly into the peice, it looks like they are morphed into it :)

Judith!!!! :glomp: can I just say....holy WOW! This is something different from your other works and yet there's you style staring us point blank in the face. I can't tell you how much seeing your work makes me smile. You're talented and yet without bragging about it you show it. I love it as usual...but this has a different sort of flare and it couldn't be more beautiful in it's own way. Very well done :claps:

well it shows that you're trying something new and I can't wait to see these new ideas.
You know if I actually had money and I had any choice of prints...I'd buy a shit load of your art.
I would....^^ you make my day better when I see your art. I've missed your talent.
I know you must be busy with classes and all I am but still would like to see more.
Love you girlie!
Keep up the great and wonderful work!
