I am a recovered alcoholic and painted this as a way of trying to show what it’s like to break free of the bottle and move on in life. To give it texture I have used a real cork at the top of the bottle, a dolls hand on the figure breaking out of the bottle symbolising breaking free of the addiction and have also used selly’s no more gaps on the rocks to give the texture. The bottles drifting away into the distance sybolise moving away from the addiction.
