My Greek Chorus

Wikipedia states: Plays of the ancient Greek theatre always included a chorus that offered a variety of background and summary information to help the audience follow the performance. The Greek chorus comments on themes. The chorus also represents, on stage, the general population of the particular story, in sharp contrast with many of the themes of the ancient Greek plays which tended to be about individual heroes, gods, and goddesses.

In many of these plays, the chorus expressed to the audience what the main characters could not say, such as their hidden fears or secrets. The chorus often provided other characters with the insight they need.

This series of work is my greek chorus. They are the invisible parts of me that make up the whole. To create this body of work, I have had to deconstruct my own personality, and recognise within myself each of these voices. I am giving this chorus a visual voice in 3D. I am honouring each facet with my time, my patience, and my gratitude that in this one humble body, is housed so many aspects of my own self.

I have named each sculpture. Giving it the right to exist on it's own, and of it's own substance. In naming each of the pieces, and in the process of creating them, I am taking the opportunity to familiarise myself with.... myself.

Each piece takes in excess of 8000 pins. With each pin, I think, I feel, I acknowledge.
