Leadbelly is such a complex character, and this week I became very frustrated with a piece I had wanted to work on. So, I decided to return to the forms I worked with last week for MJH, but drew it win pencil instead of colored pencil. The two 'arms' extending from the orb are representational of a perceived influence upon Leadbelly by his more innocent, maternal qualities so hus more violent, masculine ones. The strings follow the course of his life and change based upon what seems to be dominant in his life along the timeline.
