The artwork is printed on 80# bright white acid-free cover paper, signed & numbered by hand by the artist, shipped ready for mounting & framing. With a sheet size of 12.5″ x 18″ & actual image size slightly smaller, this print is of an original drawing that combines pen, ink & pencil
SYMBOLISM
Blind Justice is seated, draped in cloaks whose complexity illustrate the difficult nature of Her task
Her posture is defiant & self-assured
She holds close a set of canopic jars, symbolizing the heart & soul that must go into the pursuit of truth & justice
The mask at Her feet represents the theatre that thrives within the arena that is the courtroom, where passion & oratory intertwine truths & deceptions as disparate goals & agendas are pursued
The books represent the laws of Man & the learning that defines our humanity, & the reasoning that is ultimately our salvation
An intense play of light & dark illustrates the ever-changing ways in which the tangible & abstract can be seen. Shadows are the obvious dark side; bright reflection is the resolution – however fleeting – when Justice is served
