Battleground

Going off to Wiscon's art show this weekend: Battleground, a female form created from 1200+  individually fused plastic soldiers. She's life sized (and approximately a US size 16) and is able to be wall mounted or free standing.

 

This is a much more political work than my usual fare. She was inspired by the battles of body that we experience as women...from the exploitation of women's bodies as spoils of war to the battles we wage amongst/within ourselves about what it means to be woman-bodied.
