I’ve noticed looking back over my blogs that my sculptures don’t have strict names, I refer to them as ‘she’ ‘it’ ‘the trap girls’ gin trap or mole trap chair’ to name but a few.
I’m trying to think of a reason for this but I cannot think of one. I haven’t, until now thought in-depth about naming them.
I had thought about naming them after traits: leech, gold-digger, gimp etc. however I though that these would be too, predictable.
I then thought about giving them girls names, I’m still undecided about this, It could make the work too personal as I couldn’t help but name them after people. On the other hand however it might spark a more personal reaction from the viewer.
Or, in keeping with their derogatory nature I could call them the ‘her’ series. This would add to their overall confrontational air. Calling someone her is very impersonal and implies you are just another person, this then links in with the promiscuity that I was suggesting they could relate to in a previous post.
