this piece i observed very carefully and picked it to write about. its of an overgrown woman with hairy legs taking a bath in a lake, it seems she is immune to the stares of the male onlookers. the background is painted so beautifully. i chosen this piece because it captured my eyes with the almost life-like cartoon style feeling. the marks used to paint the trees gives the piece a flowing effect and the surreal story of a woman with hairy legs taking a bath in a lake is fntastic, it really catches you how she could be anonymous to the men watching on.
Forde uses discarded pieces of furnature, most common element is wood to paint her surreal unusual characters on, which all revolves around her recycling nature. From observing this piece i have picked up a dark sense of humour theme making you think with your imagination.
this piece is also colourful, the use of tones to make the piece come to life is amazing, what Forde has done is make the audience see beyond the piece and think further into the theme and her imagination.
The texture of the piece is great instead of paper or canvas she thought outside the box.
