Strong Woman 1
This polymer clay piece that was inspired by the 'We Can Do It' woman in the iconic World War II poster. This pandemic spurred me into exploring various art forms and art materials, some more familiar than others. It didn't take too long to create this piece as the image in my mind was already vivid. As for the final look, I allowed the process to guide me, allowing myself to work with what I had and what I knew I was capable of. I believe , however, that I was also inspired by Children’s picture books in creating the look of my version. Children’s books are filled with wonder, imagination and are capable of breaking down complex ideas and concepts into simple words and attractive images. Perhaps this is what Strong Woman aims to offer - an accessible way to consider the ideas of strength against all odds.
