Crocheted Amphora Series
|
||
|
Classical Greek vases have been an ongoing source of inspiration for Bonnie Meltzer for well over a decade. The elegant shapes of the urns influence the outside perimeter of Meltzer's work (most are not rectangular) and the Classical vase painting affects both her composition and subject matter. Some vases are predominatly crocheted while others do not contain any of the wire mesh. All contain recycycled computer parts. Works with predominately digital photo imagery are on page 2 of the Amphora Series. Click here to see the Digital Photo Amphora Series. |

crocheted wire, found objects, digital photgraphy
40" x 21" x 2" This artwork has to do with vase as body shape, in this instance the thickening body of middle age. Interwoven are the symbols of loss and what is found. The crochet is used for its transparency but also as a symbol of a stereotype of woman's work and the preconceived notions of what a middle aged woman is. And it will make you laugh... The armature was produced by Mark Moshofsky. |
