Title: Contrivances Measurements: 15’ x 24’ (36 cm x 60 cm) Techniques: Mixed media (oil and acrylic) on stretched cotton canvas. Backstory: If everyone perceived a different reality based on their unique physical and psychological attributes, their histories, needs and desires, then whose reality is accurate? The point is, our so-called reality, the world we think we live in, is actually a contrivance. It’s a projection of what we perceive think feel and believe at any given moment. That may sound depressing, but it can be quite the opposite. It can be empowering. Why? Because, if our reality is contrived, it can be adjusted and elevated. Artist: Antonia Theo
