The Thinking Behind The Work ....


VENETIAN LADY
Like most of my work this sculpture developed in the making. I wanted to show women strong in mind and yet feminine, in controle and birth. The machine like fish with a cockerel head held in tight grip under her arm is symbolic of man's sexuality and she's in controle of the future generation both under her arm and in her tummy. Her helmet is her confidence and protection with engraved design of a butterfly from birth to death. In viewing this work I would like to hope the viewer will have the impression of the Venetian ladies of the 15th century then the sculpture plays on the mind.

The Venetian Lady describes the strength and beauty of the everyday woman - beautiful, graceful,friendly smiles,motherly, calm and gentle. These are some unique qualities as I can relate from the work

It is only a woman who can 'open' to this work and it is only a man who can see the woman in the work ..

The artist who passionately sculpted this beautiful lady can be the woman's man who only knows the inner beauty and emotions of the woman.

HianHui ... I can answer your comment in this way .. ''that while I am making the sculpture ''I am'' the sculpture.''
