I feel like a lot of my current work has been inspired by Eva Hesse. Mainly her use of wax, which I have been going crazy with lately! Heather showed me some of her work (although I have heard of her in the past) and then we talked about her in my Women in the Visual Arts class. A lot of our themes are different, but the general aesthetic is similar.
More than anything I just really like her use of material. I actually find a lot of the end results to be too "flesh-like" for my liking. Maybe thats a good thing for her work, but I'm not super into bodily things... at the same time, I think my little pouches may give off that sort of feel too. Perhaps I should accept the ickiness?
