Why did she choose this term? How does it define her work? How does it <I>not</I> define her work? I feel that you're constantly creating, re-sorting the meanings associated with the term. I focus on the powerful and beautiful aspects of it. You are a goddess, whose medium is sculpture. You are powerful, awesome to behold, merciful, graceful, mysterious, majestic, beautiful.<BR/><BR/>Sculptress is, therefore, highly appropriate.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10822014510834674082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-370031385579008097.post-46185669390911707552008-07-16T20:47:00.000-04:002008-07-16T20:47:00.000-04:00i love the word, too.thought i posted here--you ha...i love the word, too.<BR/>thought i posted here--you have a few compliments on my blog--love the dress.mansuetudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03805383049085040581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-370031385579008097.post-21819396493753813952008-07-13T17:39:00.000-04:002008-07-13T17:39:00.000-04:00lasuza, there is some video but my teacher has it ...lasuza, <BR/>there is some video but my teacher has it and she won't be able to send it for a while because of travel. It would be nice to have a durational video with segments edited out, so there are little pauses of movement with the evidence of progress. <BR/>While I was performing I found myself thinking a lot about the task of Psyche sorting seeds and of women as gatherers and collectors. I think of collecting as an infinite activity. There is also the other side, of cleaning and purging. But I am by nature a collector. <BR/><BR/>little brown sparrow, <BR/>you would have fit right in at the river collecting.<BR/>I, too, feel my artistic identity is closely tied with my being a woman. <BR/><BR/>carol, <BR/>thank you for the feedback and relaying your positive associations with "sculptress" it's so good to know what others think.Erin Curryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07666485705419340583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-370031385579008097.post-90234901957623485202008-07-10T01:13:00.000-04:002008-07-10T01:13:00.000-04:00beautiful post. your words describe the experience...beautiful post. your words describe the experience so clearly.<BR/><BR/>I too find "sculptress" to be a very alluring and seductive word.

I was right there with you on the river bank, feeling the smoothness of the stones and hearing their clacking together.<BR/><BR/>I love the word 'sculptress', though I know it's barely used. Probably for the reasons you alluded to- it sounds dangerous, temping, seductive (I always thought so). I would call myself a sculptress if sculpting were my technique, but I find my technique is more about assembling, or gathering. <BR/><BR/>So I call myself an assemblage artist. I don't worry about the gender inflection though, but then it's important to me that my being a woman be included in my artistic identity.Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00552220520085713818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-370031385579008097.post-51493182227891849922008-07-08T16:48:00.000-04:002008-07-08T16:48:00.000-04:00Wow Erin- this work looks stunning - do you have a...Wow Erin- this work looks stunning - do you have any video of your performance? I like the idea of never finishing the collection, an infinite piling and unpiling moving and shaping of little grey stones.lasuzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14538330106857088039noreply@blogger.com
