This is the sub-title of my Sketchbook for my class, and that is what I thought referred to me absolutely. Perhaps I have been labelled through my life, but it seemed to matter more what was thought of me now! This course was so life changing for me and I cannot thank my tutor enough for that. It seems I have been a closet artist all my life - TIME TO COME OUT OF THE CLOSET eh?
Let me tell you about another set of `titles` we had to choose a subject from :
In module two I thought about The wrath of Medus; Goncherova; Family Tree.
I had seen the statue of Perseus holding the head of Medusa by Bellini in Florence and was captivated, as I always seem to be with mythology, and it was my initial spark. The art of Goncherova was certainly enthralling, and this moment was when I started to think as a sculptor.... ? It seems quite obvious now when I analyse these works and my writings in my sketchbook. The `rayonism` of Goncherova I could show in 3D, and certainly materials and mediums are abundant, unfortunately, this was new to me and it worried me as to how I would continue and at least explore this artist more. The choice was made - Family Tree.
Taking the safe option. My upbringing was within a strict catholic regime. The Bible came to immediate mind.
This module brought me to appreciate Gustav Klimt.
I subsequently went to see the exhibition in Liverpool - I was awe struck. Imagine huge pieces of wall displaying the Stoclet Frieze. FABULOUS. Such a varied oeuvre.
