Glass Castle Apocalypse
A visual response for my English 101 class to Bob Dylan’s The Times They Are-A Changin’. We had to select a poem or reading from the semester’s coursepack and then interpret it into some sort of visual response.
I read the poem before I went to sleep to give my sub-conscious a chance to chew on it for a while as it tends to be how I get my best ideas. Lo and behold, 4:30am rolls around and I’m woken up out of a dead sleep by a nightmare/dream about the meek inheriting the earth, which is essentially what Dylan’s song is about. My dream was significantly more violent and was placed a number of years in the future, but essentially the image below was the last remnant of the dream when I woke up. A lone anguish cry of the repressed before they revolt and tear down the glass castles of lies, greed, corruption, and manipulation.
The final version was a 19″ high x 27.5″ wide poster. The final .psd file was a few megs over 1gb (!).
