Wood retailer Burning- Eaten Whole

I made this piece with pyrography, otherwise known as wood burning, and took the inspiration from a drawing in my art therapy journal. This piece is a visually startling depiction of my experience with fear and PTSD. To me, this work is about the experience of flashbacks of varying degrees and the accompanying dissociation that can accompany them. It is about how helpless that experience can feel. It is deeply personal, but I feel that it may be relatable to others with the experience of trauma, panic, and/or dissociation. Regardless of its origins, I encourage all art lovers to interpret it to their own liking and appreciate the striking visual as they see fit.

This wood burning was created on a 4.75 x 3.5 slice of figured Aniegre wood, a wood found in the tropical areas of east Africa. It has a light grey stain and catches light with a beautiful iridescent sheen that shows a subtle wave pattern. This will come on a solid colored plaque in a color of your choice which will frame the pyrography piece. Specify your color preference for the plaque or leave the space blank and I have solid black plaques that are retailer already prepared. The last picture shows an example of a pyrography work mounted on a plaque and displayed with a tabletop display stand. The plaque dimensions are approximately 7.25 x 5.25, and a tabletop display stand can be included for an additional $3.00. Thank you for considering this work!
