Not For Your Entertainment (ORIGINAL)

This is an original mixed media piece measuring 10" x 10" using hand embroidery thread on canvas. Not For Your Entertainment is a thought provoking, statement piece in response to child kidnappings and the belief that women and young girls simply exist for entertainment at anyone's discretion.
 
The high contrast colors are used to capture your attention which then leads to the bold white letters continuing around the edge of the piece with an important message. The hand embroidered composition on a circular canvas creates the symbol of a coin and acts as a metaphor for a token, however, this is contrasted by the statement "Not for your entertainment" and the use of the direction of the young girl's eyes, almost ignoring the viewer's presence.
