I'm interested and inspired by this piece because of its subtle explicitness- It infers the bodily, the genitals, the sensual qualities of skin, but it's sanitized by the white material, and it also is laden with other interpretive potential- it could almost be anything in nature, from frog spawn to a fungi formation. I found this in the great book - Art and Feminism.
There is a quality to this work that I would like to capture in my own- this kind of balance of ambiguity and explicitness. I want to explore the textural qualities of material in a similarly sensitive way as she does- the marble so effectively infers the draping skin of a scrotum that it is undeniable, yet in the context of the sculpture, it maintains a mystery that leaves the work open to interpretation.
