A layered contemporary mixed media work exploring femininity, emotional memory, power, and cultural mythology through fragmented imagery and conceptual narrative.
THE LIES YOU WHISPERED IN LEXINGTON — THE DEAD HORSE THAT WEIGHS ON ME NOW is a contemporary mixed media work examining the emotional residue of femininity, performance, memory, and inherited cultural narratives. Combining layered imagery with fragmented forms and text elements, the piece exists between intimacy and performance — revealing and obscuring meaning simultaneously.
Referencing both personal mythology and collective cultural symbolism, the work draws from vintage media, Southern imagery, femininity, and emotional memory. Through layering and juxtaposition, the composition reflects the complexity of how women are viewed, constructed, and remembered within culture.
The title itself carries emotional weight and ambiguity — evoking intimacy, burden, nostalgia, performance, and unresolved psychological tension. Balanced between softness and disruption, the piece functions both as contemporary wall art and as a conceptual narrative object.
Ideal for collectors of:
feminist art
mixed media collage
contemporary figurative work
conceptual portraiture
modern gallery walls
statement interiors
Materials: Acrylic, Resin and Mixed Media on Cradled Wood
Size: 12 × 12 × 1 in
