i made this collage with three polaroids of backlit sheets of a 1910 magazine and watercolors textured with paper towels. as usual, i cut the polaroids, i washed, scratched and glued them together, but this time i put between the polaroids those watercolor layers because the result looked too dark and colorless to me.
i didn't like this much when i finished it. i found it too complicated, confused, messy. then i scanned it and, seeing it bigger, i fell in love with it.
when i see it in full size, i just stop for a while looking at the seven faces, at the texture and shades, at all the small details.
i understood that i can represent a subject like hysteria only in a complicated, confused, messy way, for all it represented in women's history.
the idea that the uterus was believed to cause mental insanity, the small universe that is a woman's mind and the denial of female sexual pleasure through history are not things i'm able to represent in a minimalistic way, sorry.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces.

We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
