About this artwork
I was inspired to make this piece by the thoughtful expression of the woman in Ghirlandaio’s painting. What was on her mind? She appears to be young, but in her era, a woman who reached her mid-twenties without marriage and motherhood was considered a failure. The anachronism of the “Table of Conception” may offer evidence that things haven’t changed that much.
I cut the ink-jet printed images by hand and used acrylic medium for the adhesive onto… illustration board. The piece is matted and framed under glass in a thrift-shop frame.
