Sketch for a hypothetical sculpture. A mashup between Degas’ “Little Dancer Aged Fourteen” and Danziger’s “Nimrod”.

Degas was known misogynist, who was quoted comparing the ballet dancers he made a career out of drawing, to work horses and rats. His Little Dancer used to be one of my favorite sculptures, until I saw it last year in DC and read up about it and him, and what I learned saddened me deeply.

I carried that sadness around for a while. Yesterday I went to the Israel Museum and saw another one of my all time favorite sculptures, Nimrod. The biblical character Nimrod is described as “a mighty hunter before the Lord.” But the root from which his name comes means “to rebel,” and in Talmudic literature, he is the despised idolater who erected the Tower of Babel in order to overthrow God. Danziger took the hawk on Nimrod’s shoulder from Egyptian art, underscoring the link between his sculpture and the ancient pagan world. The absence of legs likens the figure to an archaeological find, as does the reddish sandstone from Petra.

I suddenly realized how similar they look- same arm pose, same defiant, chin-up manner.

So I gave the little dancer a hawk, and cut off her “work horse” legs, and finally her defying stance is complete. She can finally rebel against her oppressors, armed with Nimrod’s mythical hunting abilities and his intent to overthrow the powers who would dominate him. Time’s up.

@goknott‘s mug commission, all done and glazed! this was so much fun to design and paint.. the snails are my favorite. hope you like it!

a challenge

seeing as i’m a bit busy with another theatre production recently, i’ve been neglecting drawing. i do have time though, so to motivate myself i prepared a sketchbook with the dates of March on each page, and i plan to just draw something in it every day.

i’m guessing some days i won’t have ideas for what to draw, so feel free to challenge me or send requests my way, or even reblog this. ask box always open :)

A little illustration of a dream I had! I was experimenting with color pallets and building yhem out of what I have. It was a lot of fun!

And if a kid breaks in a school and no one around chooses to hear, do they make a sound?
