Artist: Diane Clancy; Title: Conundrum I; Medium: Mixed Media - Paper, Fabric, Paint, Collage

Open the Door to Your Soul - Conundrum I is a painting that opens the door to the soul. This image looks deep within and allows you to look within yourself.

Conundrum I is a fabric and paint collage inspired by quilting. The rainbow coloured woman's face is created with alternating columns of fabric and acrylic paint, changing between light and dark. Her face is painted with green, yellow, orange, red and violet. The fabric and paint create a seamless and separate face. The woman's face is actually a double face - the right side is stretched into a second face. Her left eyes are jade. Her right eyes start with crimson and move into plum.

Her hair has 2 strips of emerald and purple. The rest of her tresses are little pieces of quilting fabric - white with lemon, gold, pink, magenta, fuchsia, lavender, coral and rose. The bottom part of this creation consists of triangles of fabric - the bottom half of each tiny square has a blue, ultramarine or cobalt triangle, angled toward the middle of the artwork. The upper half of each square is white or black fabric with matching flowers.

Conundrum I is part of my Goddess series. The depth and awareness you receive from this painting may help to create inner peace. You may experience peace, serenity and healing as you look at my work.
