Bearer

Copper, vintage Lucite flowers, wood, acrylic 8” x 14” x 12” Bearer expresses the inner struggle of women in having and/or not having children. Either way, most women experience some sense of gain and loss. From the Lick series, portraying human as sculpture – a multi media project documenting wounds and the potential beauty behind the healing process.   The portrait shows the wound in context, universal life experiences spilling from the body. The sculpture, a reliquary of the wound, focuses on good that results from purged suffering by highlighting those experiences as precious objects encased in vitrines.  Picture of Bearer Portrait for reference   Model: Wendy Woldenberg Photo credit: Lucien Knuteson Lick is also a book, a catalog of the portraits paired with stories and poems written by a variety of authors to reflect the sentiment of each sculpture.
