At the Kelsey Museum, I saw Ancient Greek fertility sculptures traditionally given to newlyweds as a blessing for childbearing. These sculptures tend to emphasize body parts associated with motherhood through size and color. This seems to reduce the value of a woman to her capability of producing offspring. In my sculpture, I hollowed out these parts and used them to hold flashy bouquets, exaggerating them in a new way, in order to critique this tradition.
