Painting #2

I used to do this sort of mixed media when I was about 15 years old (minus me smashing glass and mosaic tiles with a hammer on concrete!) 

I wasn’t going to title this painting, as abstract pieces like these are often open to interpretation. ‘Leave the Pieces’ is a song by the Wreckers, and it’s about long goodbyes and how one person at the end of a relationship is struggling to let go whilst the other wants it to be over with.

There’s often a lot of mud-flinging and gaslighting at the end of some relationships, and the shards of glass (to me) represent the sharpness of a spoken word and how hurtful it can feel.
