Raw Guts, rope, paper, plaster, resin, metal coating, patina, wax
I've had this idea knocking around in my brain, the use of rope as an umbilical cord tethering two objects in a symbiotic yin-yang. Joining objects with this leash lends them a visible bond of push/pull, you/me, his/her, hard/soft, give/take, inside/outside. In this piece I wanted to create forms that are both in and of the body, neither definitively male or female but a tug-a-war of body parts. They are balanced and yet not.
The fun thing about this piece is its versatility. It can be displayed in many formats, hanging from a hook or piled on the floor. Stretched out or falling off a pedestal. I've a feeling there will be more of these rope pieces coming.
