ARTIST: Matilda Green
TYPE OF WORK: 2D Painting
Judges’ Summary
A very creative piece which directly and imaginatively uses the historical source. The limited use of colour creates a dramatic effect and as a viewer it is easy to see what Matilda was trying to achieve. It would be a fantastic poster or illustration about the persecution of women during the witch trials, really super work.
CHOSEN THEME: Freedom
INSPIRED BY:
STAC 8/149/24: Accused by neighbours
‘Accused by neighbours – an accused witch is attacked with brambles and pins. I wanted to show how she could escape by pushing them out and free herself from chains so the pins are flying out.’
