MADNESS

Mad~insane, crazy, wild.

Not "mad" as in, "I'm mad at you,"

"Mad" as in "We think he's gone mad.

This is the definition of "mad" I used to create this.

Inspired by the song "Madness" and the book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, I created this piece off of an image that appeared in my head while I listened to this song. In my head, it was actually a t-shirt, (which it may be someday) but with different colors, but the same overall design. I think it has been improved during the transformation from private idea to an exposed wonder. I am really proud of this piece--maybe more that any other artwork I've made. It all fits together so perfectly to me. The background bright red with "MAD" written all over it, (36 times) and a picture of the Mad Hatter, which I printed and colored. Then for the final touch, I printed a page from the book across the image of the hatter and placed in the middle of the canvas.

This mixed media collage now hangs in my room, right across from the strangest hat I own.
