- Transcription
-
Sculpture does not have to be Rodin or Bernini. It can be fabric starched in rubber. A woman's strange construction. It also does not have to be expertly crafted.
The rough rawness is part of the message.
Sculpture can be vulnerable, splotchy, and in your face. It is a woman's work too. Not hard stone, not perfection. It can be yellowed + quotidian. - Rights
