Magic Powers
2011
Felt, metal, clay
Human: 9” x 3” x 2” Pods: 25” x 6”
Based on my own non-idealized body and made of approximately 200 hand-sewn, multi-colored felt pods spewing out of the hands. This work combines signifiers from superheroes with the stigmata to investigate the shamanistic aura and creative power of the artist.
