At first this just looks like the vascular layer again but look harder and there is a layer growing through it almost unseen; brambles. They are sharp and tangled and grow quickly like invisible pain.
This is the second of the three pages that deals with complex emotional states, here it is unseen pain. It asks what we know about someone just by looking at them, what is hidden and what are the consequences of unspoken feelings and experiences. As before the split pages enable this layer to be laid back over the previous 'emotion' showing young people how emotional layers exist alongside each other.
I used the same construction technique here as the vascular layer but made double layered rouleau which could be cut into to reveal darker colours. Some of them were then embroidered onto with picot spikes or had strange berries. The fruit were created with old button making methods either as Medieval style padded forms or as Tudor stitched beads.
n.b. rouleau are narrow fabric tubes, rouleaux are stacks of blood cells...I like a bit of serendipity!
next: invisible
