About the Item
Artist Comments
Exploring a narrative on the hazards and uncertainties of love, the artwork conveys the idea that letting oneself fall into affection is a gamble. The wood bark in the foreground resembles a hand, signaling a warning to stop. A bird in the upper left corner takes flight in fear, while a devil observes and anticipates the choices of the reclining figure. Artist Libby Ramage uses charcoal and pastels on handmade paper, incorporating a collage of wood, a potato bag, and fabric.
