Standing on the edge of two worlds, this girl is filled with curiosity for what lies beyond her pretty pink princess childhood fairy-tales. Tentatively she reaches toward the setting sun and the darkness crouching just beneath the surface.
Compelled by destiny and a deep calling, she knows that beyond the perils that lie ahead in the depths of the night, she will awake in her true morning where the clear light of day will reveal her real happily ever after.
The wire girl’s body is partially three dimensional, however her arms and hands are completely three dimensional, allowing her to point out away from the canvas.
The girl’s face is approximately two and a half centimetres long and the hands are approximately one and a half centimetres which means that the detail is incredibly fine. The nails, for example, are barely two millimetres long.
The detail on the wall is created by threading various shades of brown and copper 0.25 millimentre wire in and out of the canvas.
Thin green wire is carefully wrapped around the slightly thicker copper wire before twisting the vines into shape.
The vaguely defined wall blends with the colours of the sunset creating a limited colour palette. This, together with the stylised vines and the childlike pinks in the clothing and roses, make the scene somewhat surreal as if in a dream.
