The Bride’s Pleasure

67″high x 30″wide x 26″deep // Fired paper clay, paper pulp, casein and acrylic paint // The Bride’s Pleasure is a sculpture of a kneeling woman masturbating with her back to the viewer. I am interested in orchestrating the interaction of the viewer with the sculpture. This sculpture is displayed facing a corner so the viewer can only approach from behind. In addition, the distance between the sculpture and the walls is such that only one viewer is able to walk around her at a time, thus creating an intimate dialog between sculpture and viewer. If this were a standing posture, she would be seven and a half feet tall.
