'Untitled,' (Witch)
Wood, clay, plaster, thread, quail egg, gold, wire
I don't like to give my work titles, unless I feel it helps the work, as Louise bourgeois said,
"A title...is unnecessary. The emotions come first, the compelling need to say something. Titles are needed only for identification purposes. For me a title is something to communicate with the audience, but I could have ten titles, some people love titles."
I use witch, more as a description than anything else, I really want people to look at the work and make up their own thoughts about it. Witch, because of the point in the wood, I could go into the myth about the egg, nature, magic and so forth, but I won't, perhaps another day..
