I have finally started on my final piece for my degree show………….
Continuing my previous work I am using dough as a metaphor for domesticity, inspired by Rabelais’ Gargantua, a giant that “pees” on the people drowning thousands, I thought, wouldn’t it be fun if Gargantua became Gargantuanna!
Alluding to Kristeva’s theory of the female wild zone and the concept of the unruly woman I wondered how the scene would be received if the “pisser” was a woman? I giant wine swilling peeing woman made from dough
(pic to follow tomorrow)
In another piece I am constructing a transcription of Susanna and the Elders
this too is influenced by carnivalesque visual imagery.
