Remembered Sustenance | Part 2

In the plate or platter that’s in front of the curtain you’ll see a little shape. I don’t know particularly if you’re listening and you’re male if you will remember, but many women will remember that when they were children, maybe they still make them, there were little jewelry boxes that you could open that would play a little jewelry box kind of music box tune and a tiny little ballerina would turn around. And I always thought those were very sad and very beautiful kind of at the same time, because they were very vulnerable. She always seemed very vulnerable to me and very perfect at the same time. It’s like all the perfection that you wish things would be that it never is. And I made a little ballerina like that, and then in the platter, it’s cast bronze, lost wax it’s called. So everything that you see in front of you was originally made out of wax and then cast in bronze and through a lengthy process is finished. But in any case, originally that plate that you’re looking at there was out of wax. So something that I made that was hard that I could push into it will leave a negative shape. So that’s what I did, made a little ballerina, pushed it into the soft wax, pulled it out and then you’re left with this little negative shape. And that’s what these creatures are feeding off of, this little memory of a ballerina there in the platter. So that’s where the title comes from.
