Overwhelmed - Rosy Brown
Description
360x270mm Framed Etching. IMPORTANT CONDITION OF SALE FOR THIS LOT: This piece forms part of the artist's A Level portfolio and must be retained by the school until October 2022. The purchaser of this piece will be given an identically framed replica which will be exchanged for the original once this is available. The replica will be produced following the sale of the piece, and may take up to 14 days. ARTIST STATEMENT: I created this self-portrait in order to try and communicate the overwhelming feelings of anxiety. I linked this feeling to the physical reality of drowning in order to try and convey the way in which it is all consuming; but also in order to represent the more physical aspects, such as loss of breath. The print is meant to try and represent the desperate feeling of trying to 'stay afloat' in day to day life when your mind feels as though it is flooding. ABOUT THE ARTIST: This piece is Shortlisted in the 2021 Sovereign Art Foundation Students Prize in Guernsey. Rosy created this piece aged 17 while a student at Ladies College, studying Art at Elizabeth College Art Department. She was also Shortlisted in 2020.

Should a lot win either the Judges’ Prize or Public Prize in this national competition, it will automatically be enrolled in the Sovereign Global Students Prize; the buyer will have to agree for the piece to be available for display at the Global Students Prize Exhibition, scheduled to take place in Q1 2022. The Sovereign Art Foundation will organise the collection and return of the artwork in this instance.
