DEGREES OF LONELINESS - mixed media by Susan Roden


 DEGREES OF LONELINESS
mixed media on 7" wood circles + 11" wood circle
hand-prints, acrylic, pencil + gold leaf

Well I have returned to Albuquerque, but will be posting
art created and shown in California during my residency 

Above, Degrees of Loneliness, are wood circles 
created in mixed mediums to portray the varied stages 
of loneliness and depression. This is included within
the project, Aging . . . a female's perspective, which 
is still in development, but am happy to report 
a great portion was created during the residency! 

Degrees of Loneliness addresses the fallacy that all   
elderly people are depressed and lonely. Some are, 
but a large portion are not for no longer have the 
restrictions of daily lives. Many travel, volunteer 
or go onto second careers.

I envision this display to grow in quantity with 
additional circular scenes of darkened trees and 
varied stages of sunsets.
