| From the Southbank exhibition |
This exhibition was very
moving and powerful. The artists were offenders and secure patients this seems
to make their artwork just a bit more thought provoking and challenging.
I've chosen to show you this
image because I feel it conveys so much emotion to the viewer especially coming
from an art therapy direction. This could almost have been made during
therapeutic sessions.
The bones initially make me think of
fragility, the fragile feelings the artist could have been going through at the
time. However the more I look at the sculpture the stronger the figure appears.
Reflection:
Even though the figure looks sad, isolated and forlorn; there is still an
element of strength in the sculpture for me. Maybe I see this in the artwork
because I don’t want to see entirely negative aspects to artwork. I have a habit of making an extra effort to see something positive in art pieces. I'm not sure whether this a downfall or not?!
