| I'm very drawn to this statue. Of all the statues at the UCLA sculpture garden this one holds my interest again and again. While this angle of the statue is dynamic I feel like I am robbing you by only letting you see one side of it. This statue is so low slung that I find myself compelled to crouch down and inspect at close to its own height. The proportions of the figure are dynamic with a large body solidly placed in a crouch supported by feet that are settled in position like elegant paddles and hands that offer just as much strength. And her head, though small by comparison has a strong presence, a dignity. And with all this strength and dignity portrayed through her body that seems to say something about her character she is crouching down almost as low as she can be to the ground. And she draws you down to the ground as well. There is a lot to consider there. I'd love to know what other people see in her. (I may have to share a series of photographs of her, so that everyone can experience her more fully.) |
Here on The Muse's Routine I'll explore what inspires me to make art daily. I'll share photographs of patterning, objects like candy wrappers, plants, animals, bugs and anything else that I come across physically and want a record of to get my mind whirring.
