I was inspired by Ida Applebroogs fascinating clay figures. I worked with the clay to form the figures, which were "lifeless". I photographed the figures and used photoshop to give them a personality. I wanted to keep the creations quite simple, but also give them a bit of character. I also wanted a simple background and chose the different wallpaper designs to express the character in the figures.
Ida Applebroog
Ida Applebroog, is a Jewish American Artist born 1929 in the Bronx, New York, who attended an Art Institute in Chicago receiving an honorary doctorate.
Some of her work is "cartoon like", her works include animation and sculpture with themes of gender identity and socio- sexual dysfunction.
Ida Applebroog a feminist activist, who's work was described by a male art tutor as being "as good as a man's".
Although she has been described as a "feminist" she refuses to be "labelled" and wishes only to be known as an Artist.
