This piece spurred from a joke, "why don't you make a giant butt and stick your photos in it's crack". Why not. I liked how the pedestal calls attention to an object. For this piece, I wanted to interact the concepts within my photos regarding human sexuality and objectification with a misrepresentation of a three-dimensional butt. I enjoy the play between the direct representation of sexual body parts while the abstract form allows the viewer to project their own ideas onto it – the materials aren't trying to be something their not. After critique it was mentioned that the installation of the piece gave a feeling of sadness, as if it were slumping in a corner. I like resting on this idea of projecting human emotions onto an object. Maybe it's just our natural instincts to connect the two, either way I enjoy directing the conversation toward that direction.
