Reading Lady Macbeth
Acrylic (48" x 60")
1992

The character of Lady Macbeth may be seen to be reflected in a reader of the play but the reader of the play may be a modern Lady Macbeth, as her bloody hand might indicate.  This work may be seen as exploring various aspects of words; as thoughts of a fictional character, as Shakespeare’s reflection’s on an aspect of life, or demonstrating how words inhabiting the connecting link between fiction and our own experience.
