People look at this
eerie sculpture and question, “what's this all about?” The simple answer
is “nothing”. There is no deep unconscious message going on to psychoanalyze, so
don’t bother.
When I started my “Desert Storm” sculpture, I
miscast the skull that was to go with it, leaving a misshapen jawbone, so I set it aside
to toss out in the trash. During this time, I became reacquainted with a former love
of my life that I had not seen in a decade. She graciously offered to pose
for my “Year
of the Woman” sculpture, but again I did a poor casting job and horribly
distorted her lower abdomen and marred her right breast. Now I had two miscast pieces
awaiting the trash, when I thought, “distorted body... distorted
head… why not just put them together?” I added a shroud to hold it
together, plus a series of my own hands to fill the top void.
Note- Each hand has it's thumb facing down except the top
hand with “2 thumbs”. |
