Four fabric figures hanging on a wall








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.....
