All Eyes On Me Drawing

Pretty Pictures Won't Solve Anything.
 A New Series by Annie Terrazzo 

I am invested in making art you haven’t even seen before. 
I am invested in making work that transforms your idea of what an artwork can be.
You need my art on your walls - it’s not decoration - it’s a call to action. Consider this is an an investment in yourself, not just a decor element, together we can fight against the storm of normality. 
 About this work This work is situated on wood with charcoal paper. The image is drawn with colored pencil on mixed media paper. The eyes are attached with plexiglass squares to create separation from the figure, allowing the eyes to seem like they are looking all around her. The eyes are cut from wood and decorated with drawing on paper. The entire work is covered in gloss gel to protect it.

 Annie says "The most important thing about this work is that my 15 year old daughter thinks this is the worst painting of all time. Once I had finished this, I just hung it up on the stairs of my house, where many of my works have been displayed. Many of my works have come and gone from these stairs, without much to do. But the moment I hung this object de art in the hall of the house, my teenager began screaming bloody murder and she made me sit quietly on the couch, while she explained everything she passionately felt was wrong with this art piece. I simply said in reply “ The hate that you feel? It is what I want you to feel. It embodies everything wrong with how we judge others and have to defend ourselves. And what is the art that you want an your walls? You want pretty trees and cups and flowers? You want a sign in your kitchen that says eat? Or you want something that makes you feel...” This art should be something that terrifies, belittles, engulfs you. Don’t look at it, don’t like it. I revel in your disgust.
