Presentation for a Crit. It was pointed out that I am working in my Comfort Zone i.e. making figures, and should experiment with challenging myself to work outside my usual interest.
I had previously put these coloured balls in tights, but not sure why, just an attempt to do a Part-Body. They look rather jolly which is nice, but not appropriate for what I am trying to express.
Working on coloured plastic balls I covered them roughly with strips of fabric and plaster in an effort to make them more anonymous and tightly wrapped. [and less cheery]
I had in mind to place the spiky balls in a net instead of a figure, the trapped fearful thoughts that roll around in the mind. Reminiscent of Not Yet by Eva Hesse, the weight of the balls and the sub-text of male genitalia. Female eggs.....
