Woman In Time


This is the first collage I created. I used charcoal on top of the watercolor wash to give the picture some depth. The idea behind this piece was to show the changing image of women through various societies with regard to pregnancy. The woman in the middle is an image from Van Eyke's Wedding Portrait. It is unclear whether she was actually pregnant at the time of the painting, or if it is simply an optical illusion, due to the way her dress is folded. I then added a contemporary image at the bottom of the picture to balance the picture and demonstrate the various sociological differences throughout the space of time.
