Foam core sculpture (My Little Pony & Lollipop) about the early sexualization of children via media, society and cartoons.

I wanted to make a point to show how early children are getting exposed to sexual things and how soon people are looking at children in a sexual way. I chose to combine a My Little Pony doll and a lollipop. I chose the My Little Pony because there has been an obvious shift from what I grew up with to what the show looks like now. The characters all have hips, a pronounced butt, and are far more humanized. When I was younger, they just looked like horses.

“It’s All In Your Head”

It’s all in your head, at least that’s what the Psilocybin mushrooms lead you to believe. Nothing was real and everything was flat, at least it felt flat. It was like being on the set of a movie. Only nature and other people persisted and demanded they remain three dimensional. The rest of the world, everything that was man made, was still and flat. Man made objects felt fake and as though the did not have the ability to actually function or do what they were intended to do (cars couldn't move, TVs could not actually show picture, etc.). I felt as though nothing could move without my permission, I allowed nothing to move and everything was still. Lines weren't straight anymore and instead were bending, breaking, collapsing on one another. I could see and feel the walls breathing with me, heaving gently.

My sculpture is a depiction of each of the experiences above. The human figure in the center, myself, is the only thing that is three dimensional. Everything in front of the figure is flat. Incorporated within the rest of the sculpture are things that I saw, there are a few select shapes that you can probably pick out if you look long enough, like a car and a game controller. The geometric nature of the lines and how the different layers and patterns represent the stillness of the objectives in my field of view, with the contrast of the layered wire attempting to give the sensation of breathing walls and objects.

I feel like my sculpture overall is very successful. My wire wrapped figure is my favorite part, personally. I wove the wire into itself to make a stable wall for the figure to be in front of so that I would not have to have supports for the wall. My wire figure, while supported by wires hidden in the legs, can stand in and of itself but is easily knocked over. The only thing that I wish I could have changed was to square everything off by taking a piece of paper and snipping anything that extended beyond the paper so that it would have had a very abrupt end. I was too concerned about my wall falling apart to actually go through with my plan, as I knew I wouldn't have time to repair it. Other than that, I really enjoy my sculpture and am very pleased with the outcome.
