Venus of ___. 1 & 2

Venus of ___. 1 & 2

Samantha Earley

This piece was influenced by ancient stone carving of women. The painting on the surface is a mixture of a variety of possible skin tones that overall resemble a weathered stone. I wanted to create a sculpture that can be interpreted as the lasting impact women have had over time, throughout all cultures. Even though the piece looks eroded from natural elements, it still stands tall and strong. The female body has also been a strong subject in art and going back to a non-idealized form, that borders on biomorphic, can let the viewer imagine and connect with more personal ideas.
