"Bottled Up Emotions"
Leslie Pearson
Sewn book: glass jar, paper, resin, tacks, approx. 4" x 12", 2012
My reflection:
As the name of the piece suggests, I think it also shows repressed emotions, pieces of paper on which the emotions are written are blocked in the bottle and the emotions cannot be expressed. The bottom of the bottle is covered with nails, a hurt and sting to the inside, representing the pain caused by repressed emotions. When I saw the nails, I immediately thought of my visual experiment 'Pyramid' (I saw this work after I had done the 'Pyramid' visual experiment), where we both used nails as a visual display of inner pain.
