CONFRONTATION

Confrontation is a piece about the visceral self hatred part of recovery. About the inevitable, overwhelming feelings of shame and guilt that come with trying to be a better person. It isn't easy or comfortable to take accountability of your flaws. It can come with a desire to purge all the memories of hurting others, whether intentionally or not, to forget the moments you replay in your head at night thinking of how you could've done better. You want those feelings out of your body. Self reflection isn't about blaming yourself or living in the past, but those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.

Valie Export, «Body Configurations», 1972 - 1976

“Body configurations” - a series of works that fit a body into space or showing that everything is measured by the body, correlated with the body. Female bodies inscribed in urban space: steps, corners of buildings, parapets, sidewalks - evidence of either the dissolution of the body, or the grotesque image of a woman as an attribute, the woman as an exterior element, a decoration that has no more functions. This is the typical male gaze at the woman that the artist wittily showed.

In her manifesto she wrote: “...men create and control the social and communication media such as science and art, word and image, fashion and architecture, social transportation and division labor. Men have projected their image of woman onto these media, and in accordance with these medial patterns they gave shape to woman.” And women have no opportunity to speak, there is no access to these means of communication.

I was wrapped around in my drawing of silhouette, I sat in a chair with my hand held high. I explored how colour might affect the results.

This first one on the right the colours are bright and inviting but I am locked in possibly looking for help. I wanted to imitate the drawing by lifting my hand upwards, however on reflection my hands are too upright and it doesn’t feel equivalent to the drawing, I now feel it’s incongruent to the original drawing. What can I take away for this? The body shows moment in different ways, although in my mind I thought it was the same . I looking at it later objectively I understood the difference. The original silhouette was my body lying on a table relaxed with no effort from my body as opposed my hands standing straight up in the air is a more forced version and looked different in performance.

Researching I came across Body Webb using a person in his sculptures and looked at how it interacts with the sculpture

Above Body Webb uses a body in his sculpture, to me it looks like the foot of an elephant standing on a persons head like he’s going to be killed execution style. The person is holding a gun in his hand, possibly to kill the elephant.

I’m not sure of my thoughts on it but I can see how a person in his sculpture give it a different meaning and makes it more relatable .
