Big Girlie

This huge pink girlie is an interactive sculpture inspired by my animation “A Letter To My Future Daughter”.

She is the future daughter who is here now, taking up space, being bright, bold and loud. She is sitting with her head looking up at the sun eyes closed. She is safe here. Often, as women, we are made to feel uncomfortable or unsafe in our everyday lives, especially in the current climate where women’s rights are being revoked. This sculpture shows an ideal world where we can be fully ourselves and embrace our bodies exactly as they are without judgment. It allows women to step inside and take up space.

The book “Grá Mna” on her lap gives a more detailed description of all of the anatomy from her hairy toes to her disco-ball interior.

I also made a publication to explain the details and meaning of the anatomy of the sculpture made with left over fabric from her body hair and the fabric of her arms.
