'Her Jealousy Would Give Her no Rest'

‘Then she thought, and thought again, how she could rid herself of Snow White -- for as long as long as she was not the most beautiful woman in the entire land her jealousy would give her no rest.’ A childhood fear I had of fictional villains was the inspiration for this piece. It seems I’ve matured, however, in the sense that I no longer feel this way – especially about the Wicked Queen from ‘Snow White’. I can now sympathize with the Queen’s madness and jealousy and pity her unrelenting struggle to attain perfect beauty. I attempted to portray this theme of madness and jealousy through the Queen’s hand gestures. The Queen’s hands come forward from the storybook, offering the viewer the poisonous apple in desperation. She does not tempt the viewer, she forcefully thrusts the apple forward – my attempt at displaying this ‘madness’. When viewing ‘Her Jealousy Would Give Her no Rest’ one should note that ‘Snow White’ is never actually stated. I made a point of rephrasing the story quotes, when necessary, in an effort to retain the central concept that this piece revolves around the Wicked Queen’s character and the plot she carries out in order to attain perfection.
The high profile material is the book itself, and the torn pages which were folded and detailed with phrases from – this material choice abstractly explains the motives of the Queen and, from an aesthetic perspective, creates a sharp contrast between the messy, unruly pages in the book to the porcelain-looking hands and seemingly perfect apple.

UHHH.
this is the project I've been working on for the past 20 + hours. (5ish hours for this one, the other 15 were spent getting comfortable with the materials/failing).
The above paragraph(s) is the artist statement I'm submitting with the piece. It pretty much sums everything up, so I dont have to explain much here. xD let me just emphasize:
this was really, really, ridonkulously hard to do.
TALK ABOUT STEPPING OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE. :[
