Outsider Art The Picture Dennice Is Magic

I saw a beautiful collar which was basically a square with a neck poking through it. I thought it should be supported by a formal, modest, classic colored  and pose. Then I had to stare at it for months waiting for messages. Piece by piece things were added, taken away and simplified, then the title came to mind.

Dennice’s friends saw the picture before she did.  Every one of them told me I should NEVER show it to her. They thought I could saw her nose as being big but that she probably had never noticed it was!  Actually I’d never seen Dennice’s nose as big or in any way as a prominent part of her face. I viewed her as having a sharp mind.

But Dennice loved the picture. She thought I’d seen her wings! I told her the white triangles behind her were men in formal attire and she liked that even more. She decided they were waiting on her! Now she had men and wings.

This picture is magic. Some people were afraid that after seeing the picture Dennice would suddenly realize everyone in her world thought her nose was big. This picture could change her, maybe ruin her forever.

And Dennice was happy to know that the world would now know she had wings. She didn’t think the picture represented ideas. She thought it would change people. They might never see her wings, only she and I could, but now they would KNOW about them. I asked what wings were and what waiting men were and she couldn’t quite say but she was happy the world would now posses that precious piece of information.    I’d love to have you view more pictures and tell me what you see.   nancymauerman.com
