ART WORK BY GIJSBERT WITKAMP MADE OR COMPLETED IN 2013

My art work in 2013 continued what I had started in 2012. Drawings in coloured pencil; combining clearcut forms with structures that provoke the imagination.....

The Female View (right). Coloured pencil, 48 x 32 cm. 2013

The interpretation of this drawing depends on senses, intellect and mindset of the viewer and is likely to range considerably between  individuals. Depending on what the viewer thinks is depicted.
Did Freud say that we are all born with the trauma of birth?
Trauma or not, we all start life from a women's womb and therefore must start life from the female perspective - even if we did not see it.
Let me add that in direct perception the landscape part, the sky and the greens, are considerably brighter, and not dominated by the "cave" from which the scenery is seen.
