mixed media on paper
frame: 80.5 cm x 100.5 cm; paper size: 91.4 cm x 60.96 cm
Colourful mixed media painting with two mirrored figures on the left and right side of the work. The framing is tight so that only half of each figure’s face is included within the frame of the image. The figures have long black hair and each has a tear descending from their eye and onto their cheek. Between the two figures is an abstract shape resembling a bird with splayed wings. There is a line drawing of a feather under each of its wings. The figures wear shirts with a bold geometric print. There are circular objects in front of each figure that are possibly shields. In the bottom of the image, the works “Idle No More” are written in gold paint against a black background.
