3. "Misplaced my face and dropped my eyes and feeling somewhat empty" by Deborah Hampton
1. Artist: Deborah Hampton
2. Title: Misplaced my face and dropped my eyes and feeling somewhat empty
3. Medium: printed paper, felt tip pen, and ink on paper
4. Size: 17 x 14"
5. Discussion: My first impression of this image was similar to that of a caged bird. We see a woman tied up in web-like stings that are wrapping around her every limb. To me, this web was the web of society and the mold that she is expected to fit into. She was successfully caught up in the web and lost herself as a result. Gaping holes in her legs and the lifelessness in her eyes are representative of forcing yourself into a mold of model beauty and looks to never feel fulfilled by such things.
