Life – by Carol Levin
Now Carol is back with her latest works; all musings on life, spirituality and contemporary society. This time her chosen medium is oil on canvas, and her art incorporates many of the items she has collected over the years, with metronomes symbolising that time is ticking on, Buddhas, and shoes. Carol noticed, that stepping out of her shoes, they were often going in two different directions. Prevalent, too, is the sewing machine. Important to Carol with her history as a fashion designer, but it also depicts women’s work. Carol says, the sewing machine is fundamental to what’s holding the fibres of Life together. Around twenty miniature sewing machines feature in Carol’s private collection! What we love about Carol’s art? It causes endless discussion. Viewing art objects remains an extremely personal experience.
