"An Offering" (work in progress)












It's called "An Offering" after the Florence & the Machine "Rabbit Heart (raise it up)" demo. You see, when Florence was creating "Lungs" she was asked by her record label if she could write something a bit lighter, something a bit different to her usual dark stuff, which she had really, been writing for herself. So she wrote "An Offering," a song about sacrifice and the changes you have to go through to please others, while at the same time, keeping your integrity. Which is precisely what I have to do with my major work. I have to create something which will get me the best possible marks, whilst at the same time preserving my artist's integrity. This piece is an offering to my HSC markers. I hope it appeases them.

Anyway. It's a (real) horse's skull, covered in tiny pearl beads and diamond-esque acrylic jewels. ENJOY! XC
