Edmonia, I too Sculpt! Your Death of Cleopatra is kind of like my work, it shows the human body and how beautiful it is. Yes it may show someone who is dead, but it is still beautiful!
ReplyDeleteDespite our cultural differences, I do say, we have a lot to compare! I'm seeing many female artists with their brothers as inspiration and encouragement in their creative dream, including my own. How wonderfully silly! I suppose we know the real masculine supporters in our struggles. For that is another thing we share, our time made it difficult to be in the world of art when women had be ruled by Victorian expectations and the wicked social ladder! I love your deep involvement in abolition. I display such qualities in, "A Runaway Slave at Pilgrim's Point." Besides that, freedom came first on my emotional list. As you did in your sculpture, "Forever Free" I did in my poetry, announcing every woman, slave, and imprisoned being in their yearn for independence. I also traveled a lot for my poetry, and I couldn't agree more with how traveling inspires artists. I don't blame you for going to Rome, the beating romantic organ of the ancient land mass :) Italy was key in my ideas for art, as well.
ReplyDeleteBetween you and me both of our works are somewhat the same. We both share the unique art style of very detailed work along with my friend Camile Claudel. We all seem to have that type of art that really makes us all pop out in the art world, although I am not as well known as you both are, but we all stand out.
