The vision and inspiration behind my January scene is based on a few different things: The yellow structure on the background may seem weird at first glance, but can you guess what they are? Those are the bones in our ears. I also based this scene on one of the first sculptural pieces I created, “Flying Places”, which tell the story of a boy who was born with Cerebral Palsy and is flying into his future away from his wheelchair. It’s a mix of their personal story and the cover of the book by Dr. Seuss “Oh, the places you’ll go!” I believe that book to be very fitting for the month of January, when we tend to think about our plans for the future and re-visit our choices from our past.
It was also a challenging month for me to get the scene done: The weather was very cold at the studio which caused my clay to crack a lot. I got very busy catching up with other work , I was also just recovered from a surgery and we had a family crisis that took a lot of our attention, time and energy. It was all happening at once and it was frustrating at times, so I’m very proud that I finally got it done!
