“Whispers” was an exclusive 5×5 acrylic on gesso panel I created for a group show at Zapow Gallery, DREAM: An experiment in creative community collaboration.

Based upon nightmare by @christine.farmer
“A recurring dream from when I was in my 20’s: a black widow spider lived in my ear and whispered horrible, evil things it wanted me to do to people. If I refused, it began biting me behind my ear and on my neck, which was excruciatingly painful.”

I had a wonderful time recreating this dream art piece. I especially enjoyed creating the juxtaposition of a beautiful girl and the black widow spider.

“Ensnared and bound, listening to the pain of whispers told.”
