Mounting, hand-sculpted plasticine figure, lipstick, iridescent pigment and Arizona quartz in scientific bell-jar 12" x 7" x 7"
People often identify the Earth as being feminine, in idea or sometimes in literal “flesh”. Take for example, the famous Gaia, or the many stories, such as the Hellenic origin myths, of the Earth represented literally or figuratively as a female goddess. What does it mean to identify the planet on which we live with a particular gender? How should we take this today, when the “body” of the Earth is plowed, mined, and otherwise despoiled? Is gender a factor in how we treat the Earth?
A glittering peak of quartz crystals, are mounted, in a sexually suggestive way, by a painstakingly sculpted tiny female figure. Whether this piece represents an “Earth Goddess” bonding with the Earth, a cheeky poke at an outdated stereotype, a woman gyrating on a feminized phallic symbol, or a third-wave re-embrasure of ‘feminine’ ideals, remains up to the viewer to decide.
This piece will be included in the upcoming show RE:figure at Columbia College’s Glass Curtain Gallery, in which LY artists Stacia Yeapanis and Amber Hawk Swanson will also be participating.

still from beck video
Strangely, three people told Prince she looked like Mick Jagger in her “Beck video” and she doesn’t. So, her willingness to not look good becomes a naked humanity converted into courage – as bravado? The piece plays with vulnerability and confidence as Prince details her unspeakable belief in the potential for intimacy with a rock star she was once acquainted with. The piece also plays as challenge. To believe wholly in oneself. And to believe in one’s whole self, pushing past unnecessary parts of shame.
The piece can be seen under portfolio one at http://www.deniseprince.com – the third miniature square at the bottom of the page.
“Your video is excellent; very raw, mysterious, revealing, complex, and vulnerable, radically vulnerable. You are telling your secrets while keeping them secret… Way to go.” Jerry Saltz, New York Magazine

- “Lena” from the Southern Portraiture Series
I have obsessively photographed my children since they were babies. Now that they are in their teenage years, I find that examining their identities as well as those of their friends through photography is fascinating.Youth can be seen as a time of searching for identity, during a time in which we also are being consumed socially and culturally with beauty and image. It is a time for exploring new possibilities, experiences and choices. While it is a time of prime physical condition and vitality, it is also a time of uncertainty. I find these concepts to be a common thread in this series of work.
