'well thats ruined it'
many a time iv'e said that under my breath in a classroom, particularly when i spent an inordinate amount of time helping/demonstrating/adding/enhancing their work only for it to be returned back to me after they have done their bit on it! wow, i don't miss those days. using my own messy fingers is something i struggled with when printmaking, however careful i try to be, i always manage to get the paper grubby somehow, this work reflects this.
it is a common expression used to convey disappointment when an event or experience is spoiled, often used for dramatic or comedic effect and can be interpreted in a few ways depending on the context.
mad as a box of frogs is an eclectic series of original works intricately contained within a defined box frame size. the words and phrases used may resonate with people, situations, or even abstract concepts. the content often weaves together elements of humour and confrontational themes. many pieces creatively manipulate the shape and form of the text itself, drawing the viewer's attention. the artwork explores various themes through a mixed media approach. while the phrase evokes a visual image, it is not meant to be taken literally.
it serves as a figure of speech that reflects the work that excites me and ideally captivates the viewer as well.
