This painting shows a messy, dark brown and gray background with splatters of ink and paint. In the center, there’s a cluster of small, shiny plastic doll eyes glued together. The edges look rough, almost like the paint was thrown or dripped on. The doll eyes stand out against the chaotic mix of colors and textures. The artist used real materials—ink, paint, and even shellac—to create this strange, dreamlike effect. Check out more by Carol Rama to see how she played with everyday objects in her work.
