Have been thinking lots about the abject and the sexual, reproductive organs, and the interesting cross over between the two. There is a seed pod, vessel-like quality to the penis, the anus is almost like a flower bud or a knot. I liked the penis that I made before and the potential for it to mimic or even be an instrument in some way. I made a new penis, thinking about ancient drinking vessels, like camel bags. The holes and impressions in the 'testicle' of the sculpture are me thinking about pubic hair, about the way it feels at the root, or to pluck one out. I am interested in the idea of forming some kind of skin like sheath over the penis sculptures, maybe out of silicone or wax.
The anuses could be lacquered gold or silver or maybe pearlescent, I like the idea of turning the sculptures into something opulent and precious. I also want to explore the idea of making a small plug-like form sculpture of an anus to fit into the terracotta, maybe out of silver.
