“Ladies on a Roll" is a whimsical paperwork expression of vertical linear graphite art. The outlines of ancient vessel shapes are drawn vertically and continuously, one after the other, on a roll of adding machine paper.
Revealed is the similarity of ancient vessel outlines to that of the outline of women’s bodies.
The unusual medium of adding machine paper was chosen to create an interactive piece. The viewer is invited to slowly unroll the piece to reveal the relationship between the infinite variety of vessels and women.
This series speaks to antiquity, archeology and the modern woman. These are metaphors for the female body. My work explores ancient vessels and their myths, juxtaposed to present day female imagery. Urn shapes are referenced from pottery of Minoan and Mycenaean Greek civilizations. I revisit early pottery images and convert these forms into modern day statements.
