Sculpture No. 1-
In Progress Photos:
These two figurative bust sculptures were made from Stonex air dry clay and both of the bases are made from scrap wood. Each of the sculptures has a story to tell. The first bust was inspired by a story I heard. A woman was breastfeeding her son in a public place and was shamed for it. The idea of a mother being shamed for feeding her child irked me and would not leave my mind. The sculpture is a partially nude woman, cradling a swaddled baby to her right breast. She has few discernible features on her face, while the word "Shame" is written across her mouth. The base is painted with white acrylic while a baby's "feet prints" are placed on the front. The second sculpture is less serious, though much like the first, also has a story to tell. Growing up, my grandfather always warned me that "too much television would rot my brain". I wanted to do an art piece based on that saying. The sculpture depicts a female humanoid body with a classic television replacing her head. Inside the screen is a human brain. This piece was made to be more macabre and centered around the theme of horror.
