About a decade ago I did a series of paintings I called the zombie dolls.
Here is the original explanation of the series without alteration from 2003.
The Zombie Dolls came about after I had what was for me a revelation. Women are messed up! ~ Now I am not talking about confused, selfish childish female whims here… I am talking about what is on the inside.
These paintings are what is inside. This is the spirit that I see when I looked at each girl or remembered them from my past.
They are not evil, they are wounded. It is my belief that many women hurt themselves over and over with decisions and actions that they just can’t help.
These actions create wounds on the soul. The wounds never heal.
Why stitches? ~ These women who’s souls have been so shredded, cut, and wounded can not heal,but must go on. They sew themselves up, and pretend they are ok. The more they are hurt in life or hurt themselves the more they must hurt others. It is a viscous cycle that never ends. Is there hope for them? No! Once a women becomes a zombie doll inside there is no turning back.
If your really want to understand the zombie dolls I recommend you take the time to read the poetry that I have written to go with the zombie dolls flash series. I took the time to try and explain exactly what they are and what they do in those poems.
So … what is it I am posting here?
It is a digital remix of the painting originally titled REMORSE.
Two versions of it actually.
I am planning on digitally remixing at least a dozen, and possibly more of my zombie dolls paintings. It has been a decade now (as of Jan 2015) since I finished the last one.
The series started in 2002, so there are a lot of them and I kept most of them to myself.
Anyways… Here they are, and be ready for more.
Remix One
Remix Two
Prints can be had HERE.
In the above original description you may have noted a reference to poems that go with a flash series. I will be posting those poems along with remixed zombie doll flash art too.
At this point (a decade plus later) I personally hate each and every poem that accompanied the artwork.
Hopefully you don’t hate them as much as I do. Hopefully some of you may actually enjoy them. Either way… they shall be brought back into the light.
