Should I:
- Place large stripe of orange paint across the picture
- Drown it in sepia ink, white gouache, ground charcoal and water and leave to dry slowly
- Guillotine into vertical strips and re-arrange
- All of the above

And then 2.
No. 1 first, but just use a strip of unattached orange card first. Can you colour photocopy and do no. 3 with the copy? If neither of these suit, at least give it 3 days and look at it again before doing something permanent! I like it as is
No, I’m for ripping it apart straight away (3). Pirate-style. You know? Doesn’t mean I don’t like it the way it is right now… Hehe, feels like angel and devil on each of your shoulders…
I say three. I’m a go big or go home kind of person in these situations.
Oops. I meant do all three, which is option 4!
Call me a fuddy-duddy, but I quite like it as it is. But if I had to choose, it would be no. 2. Good luck, whichever way the committee sends you! 🙂
It IS a seated Edwardian lady with her hands in her lap isn’t it, only hung the wrong way up? 😉
That is really funny
Because you’ve got to the heart of it. I can see the Edwardian lady now you say it, but the truth is worse.
It’s all accidental art. It started portrait view in crayon and glue, then I flipped it 90 degrees as I started to work into it in ink. Somehow a human form emerged. On its side. I could see fettered hands so built these up.
… then, when I flipped it back to portrait, what I saw was a slightly fetishy version of Donald Trump.
Hence the question, what to do next?
Ahhh, I see your dilemma. 🙂 Although I still really like it as is, I cannot deny being attracted by the idea of guillotining, in this particular instance… 🙂
I see some god-like chef tearing up the universe which has another figure in it made up of stars
That is poetry and a novel and a space opera all in one
Donald… cut it into strips and then drown it!
LEAVE IT ALONE!!! LOL 😀
It’s been photographed.
What else should I do but remake it?
I like the idea it is ephemeral.
That’s true
Just leave it like it is. Nothing wrong with it, nothing to add. Put it into a drawer and leave it there for a year.
As a late arriver, I enjoy seeing all the sincere, semi-serious, and flippant suggestions. Of course you started the ball rolling with your three options.
