new inspiration

these images are all inspiration for a new sculpture project involving crochet and casts of my arms. i enjoy the fact that they are all women artists who work in a variety of materials.


judy chicago. grand hands of choice. 2007 - really inspired by the colours she used. this is glass, but it got me thinking of resin.


rachel whiteread. water tower. 1998 - 1999. - so monumental, and so light. resin.


I love rooftops.


shary boyle. untitled. 2004 - shary boyle is the best. this got me thinking about cats cradle. when we visited aunty mary in whitehorse she helped me take out a book on cats cradle. we were on an epic roadtrip of course...


shary boyle. the sighted. 2009 - l love her ability to use different materials, especially her use of feminine handicraft. This is actually inspiration for a new ceramics project.


kiki smith. constellation. 1996. - this too is inspiration for ceramics, the stars.


kiki smith. moon. 1996 - this image is quite poor, from a book my mom gave me. i love her drawings.


and this is the piece that i am working on combining these elements. i also have some moulds, but those images are far from exciting, and the work involved is almost excruciating. but i am excited to learn and really excited about the outcome.
will keep you posted!
