Inspiration and Thought Process
For project one I plan on working with the Idea of women as vessels for gendered objects. I am specifically thinking about the North american ideal for "womanhood", something that strikes me as incredibly archaic to the modern woman. A while ago I asked a friend what it meant to be a woman, how, apart from biology, am I different from a man what makes me, or anyone else, a woman? For me I am a woman because that's what other people see me as, it is their expectations of me. For me its nothing I chose, its a combination of brain chemistry and expectations.
As I have become an adult I find that one of the largest expectations of me is that I become a vessel. Not, this time, for my gender, but rather for life. This project I am focusing on women as vessels and this is some of my inspiration.
I like the balance of this sculpture by Fred Vernon King. I also like the elongated neck, something I used in my own work last semester.
I really like the form in this piece by Richard Weiner, It is full and gently graceful.
Here I apreciate the gesture and the elongation. This sculpture is by Sam Diamond.
Finally I admire the grace and line in this piece by Sara Davies.
