The idea is towards the pressures, objections and restrictions that surrounds and associate to a woman living in the boundaries or restricted environment. It communicates about the idea of transformation of different emotions which build into a person in anger, fear, confusion, also talks about the poetic expression searching for the unsolved mysteries. 

This work revolves around three important elements metaphorically through materials: the formation of materials into a certain shape of a gesture, the layering and fragility, the expression of force, fear and confusion. The specific materials also used considering the metaphor in relation with memory, gesture and experience.

Faith Wilding

Faith Wilding
          is a Paraguayan-American multidisciplinary artist, writer and educator, widely known for her contribution to the progressive development of feminist art.

Womanhouse

             1971-72. Landmark collaborative feminist installation in a house in Hollywood, by Feminist Art Program at California Institute of the Arts.
Womanhouse examined and commented on the content, forms, and history of gender roles and of women's maintenance work in the home; and delved into the complex dynamics and relations that have constituted women's separate sphere in the division of labor. Left to right: "Crocheted Environment", "Dining Room", Womanhouse catalog cover.




Body and Soul:
A sculpture based on a common cemetery image of urns with drapery flowing from them which signifies the soul leaving the body. Here, two chemistry vessels--one filled with red, the other with green ink--are connected by a filmy white cloth, that slowly seeps up the colors through capillary action, which creates beautiful, unpredictable stains on the cloth.


Wall of Wounds
Wall of Wounds, 1996, "Feminist Directions", UC Riverside, CA. Installation of l00 6" x 6" Rorschach print and painted "wounds", titled and signed. This piece was an ironic comment on our public victim culture where each person is eager to proclaim h/er own wound. Each wound is thus titled: phallic wound, empathic wound, sexual wound, political wound, psychic wound, etc.
