Sally Strand - Looking Back Through Mirror (2013)

NB: This artwork was not banned by the Tumblr’s censoring bot at first (as of Dec 20th), but later was hidden from public view anyway.  Looking at this painting, Tumblr's pornbot is definitely getting crazier :(

It was eventually ‘pardoned’ after ‘appeal’

Sally Strand 1955-

Our memory is a more perfect world than the universe: it gives back life to those who no longer exist.

Guy de Maupassant

I relate to small moments of life that are often overlooked. These moments resonate with me because they are familiar—we see ourselves in them. They sometimes suggest things beyond the obvious. Painting mundane objects or tasks provides me with a challenge to portray the commonplace in a compelling way, to make the usual unusual and worthy of notice.
