In Ferry ride, Danica Lundy has engineered a multi-layered and multi-dimensional scene where the disjunction, transparency, and fragmentation of bodies and objects creates a sense of vertigo. Lundy’s works often deal with the discomfort of puberty and the newfound freedoms--and dangers--that come with growing into adolescence. Reclining in the top of the piece, we see a figure seated in a car whose body extends across the canvas with feet pressing up against the glass of the car window. Lundy often includes motifs from movies and television, and the socked foot here references a scene from the movie Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood where a young hitchhiker puts her feet up in the protagonist’s car. The relaxed posture of the central figure’s body is at odds with their sweaty feet; perhaps betraying a nervousness at the situation. Fencing in the central figure are the disjointed body parts of a second figure whose hands, arms, and legs seem to press in against the interior of the car. The second figure’s rib cage draws the viewer’s eyes, creating a dizzying effect as we lurch through the tunnel of translucent bones down to the ground where, in a small puddle, we finally see the second figure’s face. The effect of the scene leaves the viewer ill at ease: quite literally reeling from a roller-coaster of emotions.
